I had the same opinion that OpenBSD was not widely used until I was
corrected by a fellow SF-Lug member. He said OpenBSD has a large
presence in the San Francisco area. More importantly, he said that
OpenBSD is widely used in embedded systems.
See:

also Wikipedia's OpenBSD entry lists companies that use OpenBSD as a
firewall or other network appliance.
OpenBSD is not widely used as a desktop.
