I think there's a selection bias here: people using RAID 5/6 may not be using ZFS as much because it's not well supported. I'd bet money that those levels are much more common in SOHO settings than RAID 10 is, because it's still the sweet spot for "I need lots of storage" vs "...and am willing to spend drive's worth of storage on availability". For instance, anyone using a NAS primarily as a backup target for desktops and small servers may love RAID 5, but be unwilling to throw money at a "better" RAID 10 setup.
