Honestly no idea, except just pointing it out when someone mentions it.
The whole ECC recommendation is due to ZFS (unlike other filesystems) providing guarantees to data correctness, but as you know while ZFS can discover data corruption on the disk thanks to checksums, it can't guarantee data correctness in RAM because because as any program it is bound to trust it. That's why ECC RAM is highly recommended.
