This is why major companies use Windows instead of FreeBSD. FreeBSD is only known by less than 1% of the CS community, let alone the entire workers population. Or why is BSD make used when the vast majority of Free Software developpers use GNU make? Yes, this is a troll. No, it doesn't need a followup. I just don't buy the 1% argument, it reminds me too much of what people say about the systems I use.
