Because I'm an optimist? There's trying and failing, and then there's failing to try. I won't speculate on why the Linux distributors have made the choices they have since I'm uninformed there, but the case of ACL's which are standardized in NFSv4 would seem to be less a matter of OS-specific features than lacking support for standards.
