Yes, many dislike cooking brisket, few will admit it.
1. Brisket is a damn bland piece of meat. Good luck getting it seasoned without an injection of salt and msg. Of course some people are ok with little to no flavor and if that's you then maybe it's not bland to you.
2. Packers nowadays have ultra thin flats that dry out before the fatty points have rendered. Fail on both
3. Barbecue is making tough, cheap meats delicious, or for brisket you have WAGYU!
4. Watch almost any video of smoked brisket. It's set in smoke for a little bit and then braised in foil in the smoker (or oven) to do the real cooking.
5. There are so many more delicious cuts of meat to smoke, why waste time with brisket? Ribs rule, pulled pork is great but I see people struggling and failing with brisket all the time like it's a rite of passage.
Hey, it's ok if you don't like brisket.
As usual, this is my opinion and ymmv.
