Presumably, the people who fill out the survey are a very specific cross-section of the industry. Those who use a BSD are much less likely to answer a SO survey than a survey from a site with more BSD users, which makes it virtually impossible to get reasonable data.
Why would that be? Stackoverflow is pretty broad forum and have BSD questions and answers as well. In opinion it's that BSD is very rarely used by people. Linux is doing majority of work better than BSD so it's required only by very small part of the market.

Very interesting. I wish there was an easy way to compare results with previous years.
Surprised to see BSD usage at only 0.1%. I know it would be a small percentage but I'd expect 1-2%.
