I think that you are closing eyes in front of the problems. I am a freelance developer and I own a small business. I am doing Java apps mostly. In the past I was met with a suspicion in a quite a few places when I booted my notebook with Red Hat and later Fedora installed. I think that I was written off as some kind of “activist”, “hacker”, “unprofessional” or something, and even lost some deals. Now I have FreeBSD, and when people ask me what it is I say just “UNIX”, and nobody pays attention any more.
There are many people that don't share political views of FSF, and don't want to be identified as followers. Some are probably even hostile to those views. They would, most likely, reject Linux because they are “infidels”.
