Apparently a tiny minority of people are bothered by it. I was looking for information about the logo a few weeks ago and stumbled upon this anecdote: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-chat/2011-November/006642.html https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-chat/2011-Novemb... >I just got a call from the owner of a hotel for which we provide hotspot service. She says that a guest spotted the "Powered by FreeBSD" logo at the bottom of the login page, and was offended; the guest was convinced that either we or the hotel management "worshipped the Devil" and refused to stay at the hotel unless the logo was removed.

If you really search for it, you will always find someone offended by anything. Only a few years ago there was this German guy that bullied VS Code into removing their cutesy Santa hat which doesn't even have any religious context, it's originally a coca cola thing :') Anyway, having ubiquitous usage is not a goal of FreeBSD. People are free not to use it if they don't feel like it. I guess there's not much overlap in people being offended by penguins and those offended by daemons so I might have another suggestion :P

  What is truly laughable is Microsoft removing the Santa hat because of a lunatic. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/87268 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/87268 Anyone is free to have an opinion, including not paying any attention to idiots and intolerants.
