So you'd rather we have to write write this special filesystem for NetBSD,
and all the other free OS projects have to devote effort to the same, than
we just use filesystem code we've already got? That seems a bit silly.

Why make everybody implement something multiple times when you can just
implement it once at a lower level? I think this is a much better solution
than a custom filesystem.
