Yes. But having it on the MarketPlace make it easier to find and more "Business" friendly.

Before you had to check a list of amis on Percival site's select the right one at your region. So it was not so friendly.

Thanks to Percival for this! It is a huge step in making FreeBSD more friendly for beginners.

So why hasn't this made into an official support AMI by AWS?

What does "official support" mean?

Serious question. I've never found anyone able to say exactly what it means for AWS to "support" a platform.

I was looking at the main AMI list when you launch an EC2 instances. I am not sure if they are actually created and maintained by AWS, but at leas they show up on the main page makes me think they are "official."
