I never found a good non-tutorial introduction into ZFS concepts. Do you know any? By non-tutorial, I mean something that doesn’t focus on teaching you the command-line tooling. Like you can explain to someone how Git works conceptually in detail, without having to mention any Git commands and having them exercise some Git workflow hands-on.
Did you read the fine manual?

I have seen those, yes. These are reference materials, not an introductory presentation that explains the concepts and their relations, design rationale and use cases in context.
