It was implemented in some of the earlier Leopard beta's iirc. Possible speculation from my side, but it was probably removed due to licensing once Oracle expressed interest in acquiring Sun Microsystems.
This mostly died because Apple's new security framework doesn't allow for unsigned kexts or writable root. This also killed most fuse implementations and therefore kneecapped stuff like SSHFS.
Maybe Apple should consider looking into those sort of things before they promise it'll be in the OS, and even ship some barely working version of it. This was maybe around 2008 sometime so I might misremember how broken what they shipped as preview was.
Still waiting for ZFS on OS X
