Would what PC-BSD does with jails qualify as an exception?

Now I'm curious - weren't people complaining when the other sandbox systems were designed/created? It really looks a bit inconvenient (I'm referring to the SO explanation of what Android Chrome does), so I'd expect some reasonable opposition. It could be that with time people got used to the restrictions and don't complain that often anymore.
To be honest, I like PC-BSD model, but that's probably not a good idea for platforms where the resources are constrained. It works ok on the desktop, though - I didn't work with PC-BSD itself for long, but I did the same with Docker on Linux (for web browsers) and the performance hit wasn't that bad IIRC.
