We tend to ignore it
One thing that FreeBSD doesn't have is a well known public face. Every software project (and company) needs one.
Linux is Torvalds. Of course there's a lot more to a distribution than the kernel, but most people don't think that far.
OpenBSD is Theo. Love him or hate him.
But FreeBSD? A while ago Jordan Hubbard came to mind. But he was never "the" guy, and he left a long time ago. I view it as being run now by a nameless, faceless cabal.
Anyway, that's just my opinion on one reason why we tend to ignore it.
