But the main thing of an fs is to preserve your files...btrfs can't even check the most important point.

The checksumming helps to spot faulty hardware, that's a step above most other filesystems and often smart info too.

Checksums don't help against bugs. You are much less likely to lose your whole disk with ext4 or ZFS than BTRFS.

I see this a lot but have never had problems with BTRFS and I’ve used it both on my larger disks (2+tb) and my root (250gb ssd) across multiple computers for the last four years.
