Uggh, iOS :)
Certification by definition is limited: we can only certify on platforms provided by vendors with whom we have an active ISV partnership.
Using Microsoft as an example: we certified Windows on Oracle VM and they certified Oracle Linux on Hyper-V and Azure.
Okay, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours, I understand.
And IBM retain their Power platform, a direct competitor to SPARC.
Okay. Although IBM may have been a better fit... I don't know.
Finally, I suspect your trust of ZFS comes from your experience. If you gave btrfs the same time (without the expectation of feature-to-feature parity), you may find yourself trusting it too.
Not likely. Given the way systemd is going, I think I am much more likely to use Linux less and BSD instead where possible, thus making btrfs more or less irrelevant for me going forward. My son enthusiastically ran btrfs for quite a period of time, he is less conservative than myself in this area -- he gave up on btrfs some time ago, but he gave it a very good go. I much prefer tried and true and absolutely proven technology, particularly when data loss is not an option [not withstanding backups].
