This is OpenBSD we're talking about. They are far from number one in usage statistics, and I don't see a lot of proselytization from their camp. Their glorious leader, if you recall, was asked to leave another project because he was unbearable to work with. They implemented more secure memory functions that initially broke a lot of software. They don't seem likely to take the path of least resistance. Of course, I'm not a member of their team, but I get the idea that they focus on providing the best product possible for those who want a very secure system, not on giving out warm fuzzies. "Free, Functional, & Secure" is their mantra -- not necessarily popular.
