Note that some Oxide employees (including the ones I personally admire) have histories of working with Solaris, building their own cloud stack and hypervisor atop it (Joyent SmartOS) and if you'll permit me some editorializing, some general nonconformist habits. This is not the first time your sentiment was expressed about these folks, I'm sure it won't be the last. I don't personally see it as NIH tendencies, especially since after firsthand experience they're making similar choices again, but that's something subjective to evaluate for yourself. I happen to admire the professed goal of disrupting data center hardware-rack design and economy around it, even if I'm indifferent to Solaris as a technical centerpiece.
