The primary architecture on which I run #FreeBSD is:
amd64 (aka x86_64) 84.8%
arm64 (aka AArch64) 11%
i386 2.6%
other (next poll) 1.6%

If the primary architecture on which you run #FreeBSD is not x86 or arm64, it is:
arm (32-bit) 19%
powerpc64 (BE or LE) 9.5%
riscv64 61.9%
still not listed (next poll) 9.5%

I guess that's 2 people that run #FreeBSD on an architecture not previously listed. So:
mips (32/64 bit BE/LE) 0%
sparc64 75%
powerpc (32-bit) 0%
Still not listed 25%

Among the supported platforms in FreeBSD 13-15:
riscv64, ppc64, and ppc64le are missing LLDB userland debugging support.
The above plus ppc, armv7, and mips64 are missing kernel debugging support.
(LLDB doesn’t have register enums on other architectures like mips32 and ppcspe)
…and I haven’t heard any complaint or user feedback on this so far.
