Sure, the ZFS features are the same, but the integration is still not all there on Linux, and is on FreeBSD.

FreeBSD has features like 'bootonce', to switch ZFS boot environments on the next boot only. Better integration with the boot loader, more boot environment tooling, and other things that can only come when the filesystem is part of the OS.

I agree there are still some FreeBSD only features for ZFS, but the gap is getting smaller and smaller. So unless you are really depended on some of those features, there is no particular reason of why to prefer FreeBSD over Linux, unlike a few years ago.
