I can't speak for everyone, but in terms of administration, it's much easier to deal with than having to sort through the filesystem sundae you end up making with device mapper frameworks and the filesystem cherry on top of it all. In a humorous twist, subvolumes are basically thin provisioned logical volumes too and btrfs still had quotas to make them behave as such.

I use the `lv`, `pv`, and `e2fsprogs` families of commands pretty routinely in my day job (we minimally logical volume filesystems on hosts and leave it up to application/deployment/user what to do with the bulk of the storage) and haven't found this to be a real issue. After a couple minutes thinking about what you're doing, you never really need to revisit this. You should probably spend a few minutes thinking about what you're going to be doing when dealing with your filesystems anyway.
