They also hurt far more than dynamic subvolume allocations, due to their static nature. You still can't repartition an active disk without downtime under Linux FAFAIK, it requires a reboot or unmounting all other partitions on that disk, even for partitions that didn't change. I'll take lvm/zfs/btrfs subvolumes over static partitions any day.
