I disagree; if a user is presented with the following filesystem choices, btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, JFS, reiser4, reiserFS, and ZFS, and each is presented equally with a single paragraph describing its benefits, unless the user has prior knowledge about what is the best choice for the intended installation goal, they're most likely going to spend a great deal of time reading each paragraph. If you simplify the choices to 4 instead of 8, the user has less paragraphs to read and can make a decision faster.
Agreed. However, it might be a good compromise to list only the most common selections, with a button marked Advanced Options (There's probably a better label, but if so, I can't think of it right now.) containing the rest. Beginners will, most likely, avoid that, but those who need/want the more specialized file systems will still have access to them.
