> You’ve named three very different projects with very different goals and mostly separate developer sets

that all accomplish the same thing, with worse polish + support than larger, more successful projects who don't spend time building on top of "slightly different variations" of the same thing

it's undeniable that linux has 10x the support of OpenBSD, and mac has 2x-5x the support for linux in terms of "actually getting stuff done", not tinkering with command files endlessly for no reason

even the "linux is good for infrastructure" excuse is starting to fade away as more and more things get abstracted away with k8s, docker, cloud-config, etc.

yes, by all means, they run linux. they don't (on average) run BSD. anything that runs BSD could in theory run linux and probably be ok overall. linux is not "worse" than BSD at any one thing and is better in terms of community support, performance, etc.
