Please explain why one should keep the subvolumes?
Several reasons. Some are configured differently. No COW for databases, no snapshot revert on logs...
That explains how to configure subvolumes, not why you should keep them rather than repalcing them with a mounted file system.
I never said that you could not replace them with another mount. It is up to you. What I said is not remove them if you are using btrfs for "/".

You say that subvolumes can save space but you don't say how or compared to what, and you say that they can have a positive impact on performance, again compared to what. or why.
Subvolumes are more space efficient that having separate partitions for each. A single partition for everything on the whole disk is always more efficient, simply because on each partition you have to leave some free space for use later, or not. And you have to guess how much space will be needed. If all is a single partition, there is a single, common, free space pool. That is more "efficient". Of course, again, you may choose to use separate partitions instead for whatever reasons. But that's your intentional and controlled choice as admin. For an automated install procedure that has to suit thousands of users, once the choice was made to use btrfs, it's becomes obvious there is advantages with using subvolumes. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
