Professionals, maybe, but backyard hackers had little reason to care.
I looked at Linux and at 386BSD (and QNX and BSDi) and 386BSD came up
tops. Linux had no graphics (nor had the BSDs) and KA9Q as networking
(so did the Unix PC, a little earlier, that's what I cut my teeth on),
so there was some other factor there that I did not see, then or now.
Crazily, it may have been the GNU licence, but I'm not convinced.
I'll need to ask my Linux guru (CCed).
