OpenBSD is mainly used where other Unices can be used, and provides widely used software like OpenSSH, OpenBGPD and OpenSMTPD. To say that it's a hobby project strikes me as very ignorant. That said, it is not very easy to convince the developers that a function is missing because it's a pretty opinionated project, and they might not share the user's definition of needed functionality. Thankfully, they're nowhere near ebassi levels of functionality deletion disorder.

That's a pretty general statement, and I'd say to that not really. It's very much a hobbyist OS. A few people use it at home as firewalls, a few small businesses maybe, but it's mostly hobbyists and developers.

I mean, I've been familiar with the project for over 20 years, so I don't think I'm ignorant at all. The developers primarily make the OS for themselves and people with the same ideas and priorities.

Right, the devs prioritize their own needs, and can do so because it's a hobbyist OS.
