The same company that crippled a few years ago their appliances to remove btrfs support and make it a premium feature for more expensive appliances decides to pull out this move?Unsurprising...
What they did with the filesystem fuckery was arguably as bad and went relatively unnoticed, if you had a low or mid spec Synology NAS you could, back then, create partitions with btrfs filesystem which is very convenient for massive storage as it implements on-the-fly lossless compression, Synology realized that this feature that is part of the kernel was too good to not put it behind a paywall and artificially removed support from it on all devices excluding the most expensive ones, those that got the support crippled couldn't even mount the drives in read-only to recover the data, you had to remove the drives, plug them in a proper PC, boot Linux and then recover data that way.
