to me it seems as though btrfs is in quite a weird position, I believe, as it tries to be the "ultimate filesystem" both for end users and the industry at large; but the big industry doesn't run out of disk space and doesn't worry about that, but they finance its development; while end users do worry about disk space and don't care about most features but don't finance it, so they're not prioritised
