I partly agree with you. :)
Free Software is a very important aspect, that makes it worth to promote
Gnu/Linux in the one or other way.
And sure you can have a very secure webserver with Linux, if you are a
good admin. You could even use SELinux, which might be even superior to
OpenBSD in security issues.
Linux is as you know only a kernel unlike MacOSX, because of that, the
comparison is unfair. *g What really annoys me on a Gnu/Linux/X System
is X. But I'm sure that this situation will change relativly fast,
because the www.freedesktop.org is taken very serious by KDE, Gnome and
co.

And last but not least it depends very much on which distro you use and
which kind of user you are.
On the one hand there are easy to use desktop-linux-distributions like
Lycoris for example and on the other hand there are
newbie-shocking-Gentoo-like-distributions.
