There is a third party port here:

It was actually the NetApp lawsuit that caused problems for Apple’s adoption of ZFS. Apple wanted indemnification from Sun because of the lawsuit, Sun’s CEO did not sign the agreement before Oracle’s acquisition of Sun happened and Oracle had no interest in granting that, so the official Apple port was cancelled.

I heard this second hand years later from people who were insiders at Sun.

That’s a shame re: NetApp/ZFS.

While third-party ports are great, they lack deep integration that first-party support would have brought (non-kludgy Time Machine which is technically fixed with APFS).
