As usual, it is complicated: mostly that while subvol creation
is very cheap, subvol deletion can be very expensive. But then
so can be creating many snapshots, as in this:

  https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg62760.html

Also that deleting a subvol can delete a lot of stuff
"inadvertently", including things that the user could not delete
using UNIX style permissions. But it many of the Btrfs semantics
feel a bit "arbitrary" in part because they break new ground, in
part because happenstance.
