Rationale: cleaning up after containers, which may have created their own subvolumes.
E.g. systemd-nspawn —boot —directory dir where dir is a subvolume. When done with the container, deleting fir directly doesn’t work, because we now also have a subvolume at dir/var/lib/machines and obviously there may be more that the container might have created. Cleaning this all up is a bit of pain, and btrfs subvolume delete -r dir would solve it nicely.
