We don’t use SMF for the same reasons we didn’t have ZFS on linux for so long, worries about the CDDL license and how it integrates.

I’m also not saying we should have ported SMF, one complaint I have about it is that it was a product of its time and used XML (much like launchd on macos, which is actually another supervising init btw ;D).

However taking inspiration would have been good, instead of creating software that appears like it belongs on a Windows/DOS based operating system rather than a unix-like.
