You are missing the point, nobody doubts it's possible but defaults matter and people just commission a new "Ubuntu" server on OVH, Hetzner, DO etc. and don't configure ZFS or snapshotting or even want to know what that is.

I'm such user and couldn't agree more. Also DO provides their own backup service that works fine for weekly backups.
