FWIW the beta-quality implementation of ZFS in macOS was removed only after Oracle bought Sun.

Though that doesn't explain how DTrace survived.

Also Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison were known to be best buddies.

I think Larry Ellison discovered, much to his dissatisfaction, open source products and their forks, are incredibly hard to kill.

I'd love to have seen his face when he realized that he wouldn't be able to kill MySQL.
