OpenBSD router/firewall?

From what I've been reading recently OpenBSD sounds like it has very strong security and stability focused development process, and I'm reading a lot of good things about it's pf firewall. At first blush this seems like the ideal platform to deploy a router or firewall. Is it a common/good choice?

My understanding is that router focused OSes like VyOS, etc., are just management shells on top of Linux. Is there an advantage to using these besides insulating idiots like myself from the underlying Linux commands?
