Imagine being such a simp that you'd willingly go to a table full of the biggest selfish grifters on the planet in a situation where you're basically not allowed to do anything but meekly get whatever they want (and on top of it all Trump is only going to want a well done steak and ketchup, or maybe a McDonald's burger)
BSD isn't Linux though, a lot of these packages are entire systems that need many packages and are only supported in one main configuration. Otherwise instead of making social networking software you're catering to a hundred different environments. There's no real reason to run BSD for this stuff besides being a diehard tinkerer.
I'm having trouble verifying this, it seems like some of these things probably happened but the only one connecting them is this guy?
It's more than that, open source is by default a thankless job to begin with. Even if everything goes perfect now you're the unpaid maintainer of a program everyone uses and you have to beg for donations or sponsorship. So with those limited resources what would you rather do, chase down a bug that only happens on big-endian PowerPC Unix to satisfy one noisy user, or release an image/container that, if someone can run at all, contains your entire app in isolation so you can focus on features that most people are asking for?
