Wholly, entirely, irelevent. Search the number of people who use NetBSD once a week compared to the number of people who use FreeBSD once a month or OpenBSD once a month. Check the number of people who have at least installed NetBSD. See what it's used for. NetBSD is completely forgettable.

I question the claim about Apple Darwin using NetBSD since Mac is based on a 10+ year very old version of FreeBSD, and Playsttion 4 and 5 uses FreeBSD. Sony aubmits code to FreeBSD to get it supported for Playstation.
