I don't think FreeBSD has a problem at all. I love it and use it as my main daily driver desktop.
But, I don't want it to be too mainstream. I picked it precisely because I think Linux is becoming too mainstream with too much involvement from big tech. I think things are just fine as they are.
The last thing I'd want to see is "the year of FreeBSD on the desktop" lol. Sometimes things are great especially because they're not for everyone.
