I don’t think there’s a good reason. BSD has comparatively poor hardware support, and software availability, while generally ok, is worse than Linux. BSD is simpler to modify because it’s all one stack and it has a license that benefits selfish users. That’s about it. Linux mopped the floor with BSD and it’s probably in large part due to a license that prohibits selfish users. Everybody needs an operating system and the GPL benefits everyone who uses Linux, including those who compete with each other. I wonder how many BSD modifications and drivers never see the light of day because developers aren’t required to share.
