Why will there be no official ZFS in MacOS?

Why do I get the feeling that the unreasonable participant in that conversation was the one most dependent on monopoly control for its business model?
Why do I feel confused by the reference to "monopoly control" when of the two companies in question [Sun and Apple], neither of them has a monopoly on any part of either the hardware or software market?
That said, I'm still gutted about no ZFS in 10.6. Whose fault? Well, that is somewhat of a moot point at this juncture.

I thinks he talks about monopoly control as in "You are just allowed to run MacOS X on system with an Apple on it" or "You can just sell you App in the App Store, when Apple approves it" 
Do you know this one here? Some opinion from "the other side"...

It would take days to rebuild a RAID pair on 1.5 terabyte mirrored drives under MacOSX after an improper shutdown.
Under an old Sun SPARC Solaris system, ZFS takes from a half day (to completely add a new 1.5 TB external USB drive to mirror an existing [mostly full] drive) to just seconds of resilvering, on an improper shutdown.
Local external hard drive data on various Mac clients are now being consolidated onto a newly deployed SPARC Solaris 10 platform with a 1GigE... after the dropping of ZFS by Apple.
PC's are also appreciating the drive space on the network, even though they don't produce the volume of data that the Mac's do. (Creative data from video production, billboards, television recording, etc. consumes a lot more data than typical PC work.)
Apple really needs a real file system for larger drives on their platforms.
Looking forward to upgrading to the latest version of Solaris 10 with the additional Flash L2ARC support!!!

Okay, okay ... as several people have asked for it ... but you know my opinion.
The news about the removal of ZFS from Sourceforge resulted in a reinvigorated interest in the NetApp/Sun lawsuit. A multitude of web pages reported about this step. There is a comment from an authoritative source about the "Why?". I will not add somethin

OK, mittlerweile pfeifen es wirklich schon die Spatzen von den Dächern: Apple wird vorerst wohl kein ZFS in MAC OS X integrieren. Über die Gründe lässt sich streiten, doch vorerst müssen wir uns damit wohl abfinden. Es gibt ja immer noch FreeBSD, bei d
