Btrfs may have compression on by default so take it with a grain of salt
Doesn't Bcachefs, a well?
Neither do according to their respective docs.
Personally though I would've preferred an updated* test with more realistic hardware and zstd compression enabled cause this tested configuration is pretty rare in the real world.
* Their last btrfs compression benchmark was on Linux 4.11 in 2017 it seems, on a 120 GB Sata SSD.
I've never seen it be turned on by default. Maybe some distros configure compression for you, but not the basic filesystem itself. The mount options listed in the article don't indicate any default compression or encryption parameters at the very least.
Looks like for speed EXT4 still reigns, but that misses the point of ZFS, Btrfs, Bcachefs AND F2FS, which are all COW filesystems and not intended to outperform journaling filesystems in speed.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
