Why oh why are we repeating the mistakes of the last century?
If you seriously want an answer, a user help list is surely a worse than ideal place to ask. Try on yast-devel@opensuse.org . I suspect it's more likely about limited expertise and resources than attributes of the choices YaST offers, and/or the hopes and promises of btrfs. Could well be it's already on FATE. If not, maybe you should put it there.
Using LVM solves some problems, but it also adds complications. YaST would have to add modules to handle LVM and the resizing. Plus rescue ops...
I have seen people that installed the system using LVM unawares, then having problems that impeded booting, and having to reformat the disk after asking for help because nobody who understood LVM was available to help the chap.
Anybody who is proficient with LVM can set it up if he wishes. As many other things that can be done. But install LVM by default, and with several partitions? No. Keep the default as simple as possible.
I had Anaconda in mind in responding to Anton, and, agree fully with Carlos' response to Anton. That said, I remain interested to find out how the OP got into this trouble on both 13.1 and 13.2 systems at apparently about the same time, and investigating whether his trouble may have been or be preventable. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
