Could this be the real reason for the "acceptance" problem?

In the same moment, this is also the reason for its strengths. A small 
number of people "controls" FreeBSD giving it a direction they think is 
best.

This concept is what companies do not understand.

If companies use Linux, they do it because it "comes" from IBM or any 
other big vendor. If something goes wrong they go back to the vendor 
with the big name.

I do not see FreeBSD make bigger waves as long as this does not change 
not matter what name or logo FreeBSD uses.

So, why do it then?
