OpenBSD's feature set comes from within -- meaning the developers have to be motivated enough to see ideas through to implementation. Few project developers visit this site, so the answers you will get here will be conjecture based on experience & reading OpenBSD's misc@ mailing list.

Having said that, it appears that the chroot(8) + systrace(1) combination is considered good enough that no one is motivated to do more. Numerous threads can be found on misc@ which basically comes to the same conclusion:

In these misc@ threads, you will find occasional mention of the following project:

http://sysjail.bsd.lv/

...but note there is a statement at their Website stating that the project is now dormant.
