Given that applications rely on performant file systems, banning ZFS from using the FPU of the hardware effectively broke userspace. Thank you, Linux kernel, for violating that cardinal rule for no reason or benefit.

Absolutely not. That's like saying that a vulnerability shouldn't be fixed because it breaks malware.
