I agree. But Theo and his team don't have a vested interest in anyone using their software except for themselves. It's a research OS that is trying to harden BSD using computer science, correct coding and good engineering. They believe that nothing having privileges that it ought not to, sandboxing on a source code level, minimalism and less attack surface, unique kernel at boot, removing code and rewritting it better as opposed to just adding more layers on old code, etc, are a good approach to mitigating remote attacks that are often theoretical and generally would require serious skill on the part of the attacker.
However you and I know most hacks are pulled off by social engineering or simpler means like web browser exploits.
At the end of the day, most serious OpenBSD fans are not using it strictly for the security aspect. As a whole the system applies the UNIX and POSIX principles better than the rest and that is it's man attraction. The minimalism, simplicity and active development.
