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.

Niche. We should be more than simply a desktop O/S (which BTW I use as 
my primary desktop) and we should be more than a simple bare metal O/S.
