i see your point on variable naming, but this isn't equivalent afaiu.
the idea here was that the ui reverts back to including a pool if there
is no application defined for it (this should help make the ui change
independent from the api change). this wouldn't do that. you could do:

onlyRBDPools = ({ data }) => !data?.applications ||
!!data?.applications?.rbd

imo still pretty long, but maybe you have another trick up your
sleeve :)

if you don't care about keeping the front-end compatible with the
previous behavior we can also use your one-liner. just wanted to err on
the side of caution.

as a sidenote: personally i also prefer checking for undefined-ness to
relying on its falsy nature. e.g. if application.rbd = null, this would
also return false, even though technically rbd is defined. since ceph
seems to return empty objects for rbd pools by default, this currently
works fine. however, id prefer being more explicit. this is just a
personal preference though, so i'll do whatever you prefer :)

there is also the "in" operator, but if irc another patch of mine once
got rejected for using that.

sure i suppose that makes sense, i can add that to a v4.
