IMHO subvolumes, like hard disk partitions, are something that the

created ones just create confusion about "why the heck can't I remove

messing with your partitions and/or fstab.
So if we could somehow make this conditional on "running on real
iron", that would be a good compromise IMHO.
I also agree with this.
Real or not makes no difference
systemd should not be creating subvolumes et all or atleast there should
be a system wide option to disable it altogether and that option should
be disabled by default upstream.
This breaks btrfs setup/administrations on host, breaks tools etc. so
perhaps just best to get a second opinion with upstream btrfs community
and get their opinion of having core/base component creating subvolumes
on their own is the *smart* thing to do and see if their words are
enough to change Lennart's mind about this.
