Both kFreeBSD and Hurd have contributed to multiple upstreams suddenly
realizing they are creating buggy and non-portable software. This is a
very important issue wrt software quality, and should be counted as one
major reason to continue to support non-linux systems.
Additionally, Debian is about software freedom, not about lock-in of
customers as for commercial vendors. Debian is promoting software
freedom, if they stopped doing that then the whole idea of Debian would
be lost (and should be discontinued, letting RedHat, Ubuntu, et al take
over the whole (Linux) market).
Plan9 and minix go away, you are only clutter ;)
