"but nobody uses ReFS" - citation needed. It seems to come up on the Veeam forums quite a lot which implies to me that an awful lot of data is stored on ReFS.

I wont disagree with you that I do have access to a lot of file systems but I should point out that Linux has a lot of developers and some of those filesystems picked Linux for that exact reason. I like choice and I have lots. A variety of FAT is also used for UEFI partitions (cheers MS) and you seem to have missed out exFAT which is quite handy. ZFS is great on physical hardware in some cases and deserves its name but for me: ext4 does the trick. It's just complicated enough, and no more.
