I hear that ReiserFS is actually pretty decent from a technical perspective, particularly with large numbers of small file handling.

Why hasn't it just been completely renamed and taken over by other developers?

It hasn't been renamed and is still in the kernel but is deprecated and slated for removal because lack of maintainers.

I think the answer is simple: btrfs exists.

There was a patch to rename it as murderfs

The company behind it folded after the dude got put in the clink and nobody cared for it anymore, perhaps precisely because the dude who invented it murdered his wife.

A) Btrfs exists

B) It had some technical superiority in some specific workloads 20 years ago

C) Nobody other than the infamous wife killer ever carried it forward despite some efforts
