that's a dilemma quite a few software dev teams have. the more a
software needs testing, the less are users willing to use it.

SuSE's not here to create the best software possible. They're here
to make the most money possible. Just business. (They happen to have
based their business on open source, but that's irrelevant.)
Basically, you are comparing apples to oranges: FreeBSD, the
operating system, to SuSE GmBH. I'm sure that if FreeBSD was a
trademark of (and developed by) FreeBSD, Inc., we would be reading
the same stuff about it.
