True enough.
But with Redhat voting with their feet it will make the uptake of BTRFS much slower if at all.
Remember Reiserfs? I was a great filesystem at least for my use. Much more reliable then the equivalent ext systems but non-technology related issues killed it.

There may be an open GPL version of ZFS(Open ZFS).
There is bcachefs.
