>Installing all the GUI stuff from ports is kind of painful and mostly defeats the security guarantees anyway

There is no security guarantee, and installing KDE on openbsd gives you better security than installing it on linux. That argument makes no sense at all.

>Everything else is like trying to put square pegs in round holes.

That makes just as little sense. It is a generic unix-like OS. It runs generic unix-like software just like every other generic unix-like OS. Lots of people run openbsd for lots of things, and find it perfectly suitable. The only thing limiting it to routing is your imagination.
