All the BSDs would depend of only one GUI ?
Some Linux companies already develop softwares that only works with particular distributions...
And this is the worrying thing...

Obstacle to freedom in what way? If one of the BSDs decide to make their OS more GUI centric, how would it affect other BSDs? Or else, should all BSDs work together to find a cleaner way to integrate GUI into the OS without losing the existing flexibility and code cleanliness so treasured by the BSD community?
By the way, I don't consider the existing GUI options in BSD as "integration". None of the desktops work as full featured in BSD as they work on Linux. It is merely bits and pieces code, some taken from linux (like Consolekit, Policykit, dbus, etc.) which works in some ways and breaks in other ways.
Either approach would work fine. The biggest problem appears to be the mindset resistance which you have shown, and which appears to be shared be the BSD developer community.
