I don't think i have ever even heard of an unix to FreeBSD migration being done by an large commercial organization, and there is virtually no commercial enterprise software being certified for FreeBSD.
It's one of those things where nostalgic old Unix admins who's not really ready to embrace the anarchy of the Linux ecosystem is kind of pretending some clean old fashioned alternative exist, and cling to the myth that FreeBSD is more of an Unix(tm) Successor then Linux.
And yes i have also not really heard of greenfield Unix(tm) deployments since maybe 2008 and even then Linux was clearly where most people went when their old custom minicomputer(think DEC PDP 20, AS400 and HP3000) systems had to be replaced by something a bit more standardized.
