They presumably did it because they thought it would be a good idea.
Perhaps they wanted to hide implementation differences between
different OSes. Either way, the low-level functions in FreeBSD work
just fine.
FWIW, i just ran "man funopen" on my netbsd box and it says:

To David Brownlee: I doubt NetBSD 1.0 binary could run against
a NetBSD 1.6 libc. They don't care much about binary compatibility. You
could not even run a statically linked 1.0 app without some COMPAT_
option in the kernel, I think.

wide character support is present in 5.0.

Hello,
some notes about NetBSD libc:
it supports nsswitch for a long time, see here:

Dynamically loaded NSS modules are not supported.

BSD supports funopen() which allows the user to create handles for
arbitrary stream types.
