It's not a great choice for everyday use, that's why. It's a fine solution for scaled storage that makes it more performant on large disk arrays though.
Why though? I daily-drive it on multiple machines. The native encryption and ZFSBootMenu make it an awesome root fs. And incredibly easy to use with the way it handles mount points.
ZFS was pigeonholed? That's news to me. It's used on datacenter storage solutions everywhere.
Pigeonholed on Linux because of the incompatible license. It can't be a part of the kernel. No technical reason it can't, only legal reasons it can't.
I was referring to its lack of use as a root filesystem. It's primarily used for large storage arrays both at home and in data centers.

ZFSBootMenu is the only way to Install ZFS as root.
