It really doesn't make much sense to compare pledge/unveil to seccomp and capsicum or any other sandboxing solution.

Pledge and Unveil are really part of the program's specification. They are much closer in practice to asserts, pre-conditions, or contracts depending on the programming language you have used. They basically make sure that the program you are writing doesn't do anything stupid with bad inputs from the outside world. Its part of the development process, and not very hard to add to an existing program.
