It works very well for them, and the BSD people have no problem with it. Don't blame Apple for making a proprietary extension of FreeBSD, blame FreeBSD for allowing it in the first place. A lot of people around here call OS X a "rape of the BSD's". Well, it's not rape if the other person is willing to have sex.
I have nothing against proprietary operating systems , i just prefer free ones. because of the community and all the other fun stuff that goes with it.

In a proprietary product , the same does not really happen.
