ZFS does have some powerful features but much of it depends on their

Hundret years ago some people told "people can fly depends on broken idea".

LVM was never defined strictly and no one says current LVM "definition/abstracion" is finished and complet .. try to think about this and never use phrases like "broken idea" when you have real proof for "people can fly" because you can simple look on sky or "embedding the equivalent of LVM into a filesystem _feels_ quite wrong" when you can
use real and working ZFS on some OSes .. specialy when this new "definition" of LVM provides better functionalities than current FS way of thinking about some OS aspects.
