Not a relevant comparison at all.  The issues here are much more complex,
have a deeper history and decision making is largely decentralized.

The last thing FreeBSD needs (IMHO) is a marketing program aimed at
attracting every l33t d00d in the world to FreeBSD.  Thankfully, I
can't imagine that -core would be doing that and instead are rightly
concerned with producing a professional system.
