The enterprise provider that actually develops btrfs continues to support btrfs, and one enterprise provider that doesn't stopped supporting it.

People treat RH stopping support of btrfs as some sort of death knell for it. Meanwhile all the btrfs users are confused why RH's opinion should matter at all when they weren't that involved with developing it in the first place.

As an opensuse user, btrfs has saved multiple machines from botched updates by letting me revert to the snapshot from right before the update was applied (opensuse's update tool automatically takes snapshots before and after updates).

Red Hat used to be heavily involved in Btrfs development. In fact, they are present in a huge chunk of its development in the first few years. But their developers were hired away by Facebook, leaving Red Hat with nobody who work on Btrfs regularly. That's the underlying cause for why they stopped supporting it. Hiring someone to work on Btrfs takes time and effort that they don't have a reason to spend right now.
