That took some time for me to sink in. I can fully understand the aversion towards dedicated teams á la Jobs, but we are talking about an OS that is used keenly by developers, an ecosystem essential to maintain. I was baffled by Apple not pushing ZFS further, the clear lack of interest in developers by not working on e.g. virtualisation, e.g. containers, a polished OpenSolaris or similar with tools we could make MacOS even greater. Like they couldn't afford it.
