I'm a supporter, mailing list reader and send in occasional patches here and there.
Whenever Theo speaks about OpenBSD he uses the words "research OS". For every developer this might be different, but it's still worked on a From-Developers-For-Developers basis. If anybody else can use it then that's also good. If you want to change it, send patches. Don't demand features, send patches. Don't know how to setup things, read manpages and the faq, if it's not in there find out for yourself and then send patches for the documentation.
Most things are based on a need a developer once had and couldn't live without. That changed a bit since the OpenBSDFoundation got some money and is now paying for development time for features nobody dared to touch so far... like VMM (at least that's what I heard)
For me OpenBSD is not about market share but about best practices.
