Personally, I wish the Linux community went with ZFS. IMO it's still better than systemD as systemD still doesn't have a solid disk backup system...

How is ZFS related to system initialization?

It's a shot at how systemd supposedly includes everything, I believe...

It can't, due to licensing incompatibility.

ZFS is not compatible with the GPL. Canonical is treading a risky path with what they're doing.

I would love ZFS to be native on Linux, BTFS has had too many scary data loss bugs to be able to trust it.
