Because RHEL kernels are very old and the maintenance burden of backporting btrfs changes is too great (and fragile).

That sounds like a problem with RHEL, not a problem with btrfs

For the end user it's a problem with the ecosystem. Red Hat needs to keep the kernel patched for a very long time and some pieces move way too fast.

Right, it's not a btrfs problem other than btrfs is moving too quickly and RHEL's kernel stands still (by design).
