Why do you assume that? Unless you define "lose" as Bill Gates does -- 
that is, less than 100% market share -- FreeBSD has a lot to gain. But
only if it's promoted well.

It pains me to see FreeBSD as a "sleeper" product when it's so much more
stable and reliable than most Linux systems I've encountered.
