ifconfig on and bsd is in fact different to ifconfig on linux. So ifconfig on Linux has been developed independent of kernel work.
Now if you are after the Linux true equal to ifconfig on freebsd we are talking
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/iproute2
The ip command. This has not been evolutionary winners. Iproute2 is a kernel.org project that was made because the independent projects like net-tools came basically a mess of what features they did and did not support and iproute2 was basically start from scratch because everything was a mess.
Network manager is in fact something different. https://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/networkmgr/ Yes GhostBSD was first to make their own clone of Linux network manager and now other BSD are picking this up. Its not ifconfig or ip command stuff but a higher level of abstraction same with netplan.

The reality here is what Linux did not kill of commercial Unix the BSD end up cleaning up most of the market. Unix today is basically scraps.
Posix standard that define unix if you look closely has not been updated really since 2008. Yes the 2017 release was basically bind into the 2008 standard two 2008 optional extras and that was the total of the Posix Standard 2017 changes. There is really no Posix standard work any more. So now Linux is going it own way. Some *bsd developers have been starting to see this as well.
Its basically heading on the path Unix is dead long live Linux.
