I think the answer to this question is simple and is the same reason why 
Windows and MacOS have been successful over time - user experience. To 
be more exact - desktop user experience. People like me, developers, use 
computers not only for work but also to do their daily stuff - watch 
DVD, listen to music, catch up with people on Facebook, play games. 
Sometimes I do need to switch to Windows but if I could just use FreeBSD 
I would be done with that. I can do many of these things on FreeBSD now 
but it has always been an uphill path. Everything is much easier on 
Linux. Now we also have PCBSD/TrueOS but it shares the same pain as 
FreeBSD - lack of drivers.

On Linux companies contribute drivers and dedicated applications and 
it's a win-win situation. More drivers mean people can more easily 
re-use their hardware that they bought for Windows, and more happy users 
means companies are contributing more drivers.

Maybe the fate was set on Linux because FreeBSD was considered as a 
server operating system rather than a Windows replacement, which Linux 
was always trying to be? And good UI/desktop always provides a better 
user experience than a command line and terminal.

And why would people want to switch between FreeBSD on the server and 
Linux/Windows on their desktop if they can just go Linux/Windows all the 
way through? I believe it's only by providing a good desktop experience 
that FreeBSD can survive.
