What Hacker News says
2 sourcesUnsurprising. Red Hat has not hired upstream Btrfs developers for years, where SUSE has hired bunches. Meanwhile Red Hat has upstream ext4, XFS and LVM developers.
If you're going to support a code base for ~10 years, you're going to need upstream people to support it. And realistically Red Hat's comfortable putting their eggs all in the device-mapper, LVM, and XFS basket.
But, there's more:

Btrfs has no licensing issues, but after many years of work it still has significant technical issues that may never be resolved.

Stratis version 3.0
Rough ZFS feature parity. New DM features needed.

Both of those are unqualified statements, so fair or unfair my inclination is to take the project with a grain of salt.
In Btrfs has been deprecated in RHEL
