DFHSM works with DFSMS but it is not the same thing nor packaged with
it.  It is a separately-orderable product (actually called DFSMShsm).
It is the same way with what used to be called DFDSS (now DFSMSdss) and
RMM tape management.

Actually, z/OS includes all the DFSMS components, including DSS, HSM, RMM, but there is a licensing member somewhere in PARMLIB that must be updated to enable them, after you pay your fees.

They are not free exactly because of competition, like FDR and CA-1. Back when IBM first packaged all those components under DFSMS (15 years ago??), they were going to make them non-optional, so they would be free or at least bundled into the basic operating system price, but complaints from ISVs stopped that idea.
