Yeah it always sounds like such a bad take when people use research operating systems as some kind of failure case against giant commercial behemoths which have a totally different model of operation and goals. Key word: RESEARCH. OpenBSD gets a lot of flak for this, which is funny because outside of its performance issues which are somewhat the result of all the mitigations, people sure love taking things that were first implemented there and using it in stuff like Windows, or using software which is an integral part of that project like OpenSSH and tmux. I don't think some people realize that it's largely a research project led by professors out of universities in Alberta when they're really quick to heap criticism on it.
