If you can remove GNU coreutils and replace them with something else (like that Rust garbage) then you don't have a base system. You have a loose collection of packages around a kernel.

Which BSD ships GNU Coreutils?

Every occasion I’ve seen GNU coreutils installed on BSD, it’s been outside of the base and thus installed outside of /bin. Eg /usr/local or /opt/homebrew

BSD has its own coreutils, in fact they even predate GNU.
