Synology also don't (didn't?) offer a ZFS product, which is why I bought a QNAP. Restriction-free and ZFS storage. Apparently you can also completely replace the OS if you want, although I haven't tried it.

I'm not at all surprised that Ubiquiti is getting ahead of that and promising it from the start.
