I agree, there are tradeoffs to using static storage - the intended audience for PMTiles is those that prefer using static sites instead of administering a Linux server.

I would be interested to see a comparison of Btrfs + nginx serving latency, vs `pmtiles serve` from https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles on a PMTiles archive on disk. That would be a more direct comparison.

I think there's potentially some interesting use case for tiles in Btrfs volumes and incremental updates, which I haven't tackled in PMTiles yet!
