Oracle control the copyright on (original) ZFS. They own it. They can
license it under any terms they wish. They can offer it with their own
Linux distro if they wish. But they can’t, or won’t. But they will
include btrfs.

The only Oracle product that includes ZFS, that I know of, is Solaris.
Which has been in “legacy maintenance” state for some decades now.

Vote of confidence in the quality of your own product? They have heard
of it!
