/opt is for ISVs and they can write user data there, like databases. You don't want to loose changes to that data during rollback.
I do not yet use snapper and btrfs, and after reading this, I'm glad I don't.
If I would put my application on my production server in /opt, then later attempt to update it, I certainly would expect to be able to roll back from that failed attempt.
Of course you are free to put opt under snapper control as well, but you are not forced to do it - /opt is explicitly out of the control of the distribution. If /opt were included in the snapshots by default, you would be for sure one of the first persons calling names for taking it out of your control.
