There's just not enough in BSD for desktops. Ultimately, BSD solves package manager fragmentation (kinda, although there are now four BSDs) but not graphics layer fragmentation, and nobody's investing their time in half of a solution. Sure, "it's for servers [and powerusers]", but the barrier to entry is always lower for OSs you can use on the desktop and the narrative that most developers like tinkering with their config files has by now been conclusively disproven. As for graphics layer fragmentation, it seems like Wayland makes it worse by handing more of the graphics stack over to window managers. But I guess it's also an opportunity for a BSD to make their own 'blessed' compositor (although this is extremely unlikely IMHO, for graphics driver reasons if nothing else).
