Two points:
1)
FreeNAS and FreeBSD both seem to run zfs w/o any extra effort on the
installer's or user's part.
Is my very limited experience of one install of each, both fairly recent
versions.

ZFS itself is a cache. It should not be necessary to add more caching
on top of it as pertains to local storage.

I looked on the Oracle Linux web pages and blog, and there's no mention

Yes, FreeBSD has had ZFS for a long time and they are good about

OpenIndiana has had ZFS from the beginning and the ZFS was written for
its (Solaris) code base rather than needing to be ported
I might be using the wrong terminology, but by "native" I meant without
