The OpenBSD community is not trying to be the most popular operating system — just the best at it what it does

The developers know exactly who their target market is: themselves. If you can use their work, that’s great. If not, go away until you can.

OpenBSD exists to meet the needs of the developers, and while others are welcome to ride along, the needs of the passengers do not steer the project.
