As that quote clearly puts out, it is mostly cherry picked components, and not a proper FreeBSD distribution.

Juniper gear runs JunOS that's almost pure FreeBSD, with added device drivers for their hardware and a CLI layer on top.

The next version of JunOS, JunOS evolved, is moving to Linux though.

Linux is only a kernel, unlike FreeBSD which is a whole OS.

I was talking about Gnu/Linux and you know it.
And hint, that's why the playstation etc has "just" parts of FreeBSD....they don't need tar and llvm in it.
Your comment makes no sense in that regard.
> Today, FreeBSD is used by many IT companies such as IBM, Nokia, Juniper Networks, and NetApp to build their products.[16][17] Certain parts of Apple's Mac OS X operating system are based on FreeBSD.[18] Both the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Switch operating system also borrow certain components from FreeBSD,[7][8] while the PlayStation 4 operating system is derived from FreeBSD 9.[19] Netflix,[20] WhatsApp,[21] and FlightAware[22] are also examples of large, successful and heavily network-oriented companies which are running FreeBSD.
