It’s a shitshow. Looking at their repo’s issues list has lots of noise, but the worst of them is that the LVM issue has been open for over a year now. Sure, open source, anyone’s free to work on it by why would distros use such a feature incomplete installer?
I don’t think that’s true. Administration tools could build on top of it, like snapshotting, which even if it does not work the best that way, it will work. and that can just run in the background, automatically, just like it does with snapper on btrfs now on some systems.

well now I understand why is suse transitioning to a different installer instead of improving it
Using LVM is advanced. No nontechnical user should consider.
Not really an “Average Windows/MacOS user will run into” issue but most power users would run into it
