Isn't that argument put to bed by the fact that all of the BSDs still exist, are actively maintained including new features and are used by many individuals/corps in a diverse range of cases?

Do they? I would say they struggle to exist.

There is hardly a reason to install them other than wanting free beer OS without GPL-strings attached or being a systemd hater, and then suffer a desktop experiece that feels like stuck in early 2000.

Conferences related to BSDs usually boil down to running the same code in newer hardware or filesystems.

You know why you never seen a Google Server OS? Because you just have to give code back to the community if you REDISTRIBUTE your code.

That's complete and utter BS, you really sound like a hater but not a systemd one.
