Unfortunately, I think you may be right. It's just sad -- because probably nobody who's anyone at Oracle cares and/or understands.
> Then again, I've also always been curious why people still keep glamoring over ZFS for Linux when Btrfs exists now, which, as far as I understand, is comparable to ZFS and a fresh implementation (for what that's worth).
It is mostly comparable feature-wise, it's just that it hasn't achieved anywhere near the same level of stability for anything other than single-device usage. (At least that's my understanding from following the mailing list for years and years.)
