Well no but that has some other reasons outside the fragmentation.
Businesses in general hate the MIT license because anything they contribute can be used by their competitors without opening the source.
I personally like this about FreeBSD. I hate the way Linux has been infiltrated by all the business suits and it's now an OS with billions of dollars of interests pulling at it. Look at the linux foundation board, it's all suits, they're not community guys. Or all the contributions that are mostly done by people doing it as part of their work at big tech.
In my opinion the big tech companies' interests are completely opposite to my own, I don't believe in 'win-win' when it comes to enterprise participation in open source. As such Linux is not a great option for me, but for many people it is because they don't care so much about that.
FreeBSD isn't really a monoculture either by the way. There are many different distros there too, they are just really fringe because FreeBSD itself is fringe.
