When does something become an OS feature and when is it an add-on? Consider the use case. If you need to make a backup or restore data from one, by having this as part of the OS it is always available. It's line having vi installed; it comes with every Linux distro, but a lot of folks use Emacs. It makes sense that this should be a system component.

Even if it were inspired, it is significantly different the way it's written. I've hit these same challenges before, so I'm more inclined to think it is independent discovery.
