What’s the problem with FreeBSD?

It’s been my daily driver for 20 years. That it has an open license is a good thing.

That it's irrelevant outside of the server space and has terrible hardware support. FreeBSD folks themselves use Macs.

Don't get me wrong, I very much like FreeBSD, but I believe a liberal licence on critical infrastructure like an OS is detrimental. Of course, FreeBSD folks will argue the opposite.
