For me, the biggest shame is that Linux never got to adopt all these brilliant technologies like ZFS or Dtrace, directing efforts to alternatives that are nowhere near the quality or reliability of the former.

Yes I know there's a long time debate about whether the CDDL license is GPL compatible or not. Too bad this came from the Sun era, years before the Oracle acquisition.

Dtrace was GPL'd and it is available on Linux now. Although, it is too little too late as BPF based tools are already here and offer more flexibility.
