"zpool create" does create a filesystem. The manpage doesn't say so
explicitly, but does document the -O flag, which only makes sense if a
filessytem is created to apply the properties to:
-O file-system-property=value [-O file-system-property=value] ...
Sets the given file system properties in the root file system
of the pool. See zfs(8) Properties for a list of valid prop-
erties that can be set.
