No, you didn't miss it. It's not there. We don't use the Ubiquity installer that Ubuntu uses, but instead use Calamares. So far, Calamares has yet to offer ZFS support, though there's reason to believe the partioner (KPMCore) can handle it. The major issue, if anything, is the issue of licensing. Ubuntu [has stated][1] they believe there's no license issue, but as they admit, there are differing opinions. Among the dissenters is none other than [Linus Torvalds][2]. It should also be pointed out that as of 20.04, ZFS on desktop support in Ubuntu is [experimental][3]. I don't know about you, but I don't generally trust production data to file systems that have experimental support. There's a [ticket][4] in Calamares tracking this if you're curious.
