It's quite reasonable that vendors don't support BSD due to the input-output ratio.

Maybe there're many BSD servers, but not many BSD EMAIL servers compared to Linux.

Take some real numbers of some iRedMail release, when it's been deployed on 22832 linux servers[1], only 300 BSD servers[2] deployed.

[1] Including Ubuntu 20.04 + 22.04, Debian 10 + 11, RHEL/CentOS/Rocky/Alma 8 + 9.

[2] Including FreeBSD + OpenBSD.
