Other advantages:

-Unlike btrfs subvolumes, zfs datasets can be mounted with different zfs-specific mount options, such as compression algorithms or recordsizes.

-zfs can take atomic recursive snapshots of nested datasets, whereas btrfs snapshots of a subvolume do not include nested subvolumes.

Overall, zfs treats datasets as first-class citizens, whereas the only purpose of btrfs subvolumes seems to be to exclude folders from snapshots.
