I would guess that there are more BSD users than there ever have been in 2020.

FreeBSD (like *BSD in general) may be a niche OS, but there are probably millions of users and thousands of developers; certainly enough to keep the platform going.

Not everything has to be mainstream, after all; there is probably a "medium tail" of operating systems which BSD is a solid part of.
