SLES (Suse) is going all in with btrfs, it is no ZFS but better than the equivalent RH solution of offering an LVM or other blocklevel layer of checksums.
Not to mention all the ..BSD or ZfsOnLinux based storage solutions.
I am not denying that APFS is a good FS, but not even having the option of checksums given its contemporaries was clearly a political and financial decision to benefit Apple and not its users. Pointing to an opaque mix of raid (and indeed, raid10 is not even enough), super-reliable SSDs and the full stack control doesn't make the lack of checksums any better.
