SmartOS also offers container based virtualization of SmartOS (zones), which can run inside normal virtualization. It also, just like Linux, can additionally run other OS's inside KVM (native port).

You are correct though that SmartOS does not offer container based virtualization of Linux.

So to answer my own question, I guess.. "yes"

While ZFS and Dtrace are cool, real linux containers are useful to a wider range of people, based on the usage stats.

(Also: zfsonlinux.org works well)
