Why Jolla chose btrfs?

Well, I was reading an old lwn article on BTRFS and was wondering although many of Linux distros are yet to default to this FS. I am sure there are valid technical advantages but will be good to know some of the rationale. Is it more suited for mobile device?

Am bit of Linux n00b, so please be kind.

I came across this http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/ELC2014.pdf but since it is a slide not very comprehensive text is available.
