Due to how btrfs works with block layouts, it shouldn't be hard to encrypt blocks as they are written just like they can be compressed currently, but no one has sponsored that work yet. Because Google uses ext4 and they (we) care about encrypting data to protect user data from things like possible hardware theft or maybe even a datacenter being raided in some country, that's how ext4 got encryption built in.
