reason for this.
If Red Hat *really* wanted it, they would have got someone to work on
it specifically to accelerate the stabilization of the filesystem code
for the next RHEL. That *never* happened since Josef Bacik left Red
Hat for Facebook years ago. Josef still works on Btrfs there, just for
Facebook instead of Red Hat.
Why do you think they have zero engineers that work on it?
If they believed it was worthwhile they would have devoted resources to it. All
you have to do is connect the dots.
