My understanding is that jails were designed as a security boundary from the get go, unlike containers. Wouldn't that result in code that's less likely to be exploitable?

FWIW, "containers" aren't a thing. Namespaces, cgroups et. al. certainly were designed with security in mind, as was docker/runc.

Look, this isn't about whether jails are secure containers or not. I'm sure they're great. It's that responding to "if you want more isolation, try hardware virtualization" with "FreeBSD is just better because 19 years!" is not really enaging with the argument as framed.
