The sentence describes users who ask "Is OpenBSD better than X?",
where X is a specific Unix-like system. You seem to be parsing it as
users who ask "Is OpenBSD better than X, Y, and Z", where X, Y, and Z
are each Unix-like systems. I think either way is grammatically
correct and which is used depends on the meaning intended by the
writer. The writer apparently intended to describe the first
situation. I don't think it's a typo.
