It makes exactly the same sense! The installer could require explicit user action to pick ZFS. And there you go, the root filesystem would be on ZFS.

While Linux copyright owners generally allow the (small) breach of GPL that is shipping GPL-incompatible modules (whereas it would be entirely fine if they were installed separately) and the driver copyright owners also explicitly allow redistribution, ZFS's copyright owners have made no such allowance.

It would at least breach ZFS's license to ship it.
