It's only a problem if you want it to be. Yes, they can't include ZFS as 
standard with a Linux Distro (though some now apparently do), it is is 
pretty much a two command step to get it installed.

   1)  // Add the add-on apt repository to your list
   2) apt-get install zfs

Something like that - its been a while since I did that in my dual-boot 
Linux environment. Also ZFS doesn't run via FUSE on Linux any more - it 
is a "native" file system now.

   http://zfsonlinux.org/

The really good news is that for some time now, all ZFS development is 
merged into a single organization. So OSX, Linux, FreeBSD all have the 
same ZFS features and functionality. No more fragmented development.
