You know file systems have ever been almost a religious thing, and mankind is behaving like a flock of sheep: if one individual comes up with something new, then it must be (much) better than what the masses are using to move their standpoint. They would even accept known shortcomings with the current situation before being in uncharted waters. I mean when someone is happy with EXT3/4, XFS or whatever in your current installation, then why should [s]he change to something new? With something new, [s]he will always feel a bit uncomfortable. Humans are creatures of habit. Thus, you'll have to convince them why BTRFS is faster, more solid, better maintainable, ... or whatsoever; short - and in analogy to the above sheep - why BTRFS would be better than EXT4 as default. The above is not intended to judge pro / con BTRFS BTW.
