Because we offer some technologies the others do not. Unfortunately
inferior and incompatible approaches (similarly: VHS vs BETA, Blue Ray
vs HD) have left us on the outside. Try porting Kubernetes to FreeBSD.
The technologies used today are more than just fads. They are building
blocks onto which future technologies will be built.

my primary desktop) and we should be more than a simple bare metal O/S.
