Well to be fair, most people using FreeBSD are also Linux users, save people indirectly using/'benefiting' from BSD, i.e in a work environment as you mentioned.

Of course discounting Mac users (I honestly think that's a hilarious joke).
It also strikes me that many companies use BSD simply to save money in an area where time =/= money, as BSD is very secure and very stable, there are some licensing issues with many big Linux distros, etc.
I very much doubt that anyone in the year 2022 are using BSD servers or workstations to improve their performance yield unless you're working retail or construction or something and are looking to implement a RTOS platform based on BSD because your boss severely capped your department's budget lol
- a-dub 4y agothere was a time when freebsd's networking stack was pretty trendy for use in high performance networking settings. it was frequently used to implement things like software load balancers. quite possibly because of its (pre-linux-cfq) superior resource scheduling. there was also a time before it was trendy to complain about the GIL in python where SMP in freebsd suffered from the BKL. only one processor could be in the kernel at a time.
