They still can't seem to get BTRFS working anywhere nearly as well as ZFS on FreeBSD. Plus, you get a lovely init structure with no Systemd garbage. I love it.
The ZFS version is a bit political. Sun originally designed ZFS with versions to enable various features along the version continuum. However, many things happened they didn't foresee. OpenSolaris was pretty much a failure (yes, one can argue *today* about Illumos but that's not in the context when ZFS was created). Now you have four groups essentially charting a different course for ZFS and only two of them really matter: Oracle and FreeBSD. Linux doesn't matter a lick since licensing issues will forever p
Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do.

But ZFS on Linux is working quite well too. In fact it is slightly newer, the version which includes experimental encryption support.
FreeBSD 12 might have caught up, though the release notes didn't mention any new features so I suspect the ZFS version has not changed.
