openbsd.org is a different machine than www.openbsd.org. Why are you using openbsd.org? Who gave you a link to it? Tell them to stop.

I think I'm getting a little glimpse of the community here
Yeah, god forbid people having actual tasks to do instead of micromanaging their online presence like a SF web monkey.
As if it's very hard to make a redirect to the www domain. It takes only a couple of minutes.
Takes a couple of seconds.
What you actually mean is to lazy to do their job properly.

Just like my last employer where I spent a lot of time finding the simple things the developers didn't do (but would cause havoc with Google if we let it launch in that state)

One more tiny glimpse of the community!
It's hard to fault someone for going to a base domain, especially when it's content is identical to the www domain.
I just went to AOL keyword OPENBSD. Or it's not 1998 anymore and it's just common sense to type domain.org instead of www.domain.org.

Why would anyone even have them be two separate machines with the same content?

They are in different locations. openbsd.org is updated first and in the same (physical) location as the CVS servers, build equipment, etc., and www.openbsd.org and the other mirrors are mirrors with much more bandwidth.
