Expectations are certainly one hurdle. The other is probably competition. MINIX3 and L4 are also out there, presumably competing for a limited number of microkernel enthusiasts.

Well, Hurd runs on top of a microkernel (Mach) and had been ported to L4. Apparently that didn't work out. But one can be both a microkernel enthusiast and a Hurd enthusiast.

Sure. My point was that as there are a number of FOSS monolithic kernels out there, anyone preferring to work on HURD will be a microkernel enthusiast. But HURD isn't the only FOSS microkernel-based OS out there, so there is presumably competition for those developers.
