There are many people who did try btrfs and lost their data. And it was not because they did not read the docs or used flaky hardware -- for example, our org lost the data after the sudden power failure. Maybe this was our fault, be we switched to XFS on the very same hardware and did not lose any more data, despite having more power failures.
If your point is to have people use btrfs, you are not helping it by saying things like "it is user's fault every time". Nor does it help to dismiss people's experiences as FUD. Acknowledging its limitations, and saying "yes, it was bad, but as of 20XX it got much better" would be much more effective.
