and they have not released the code yet, which they said they would
True but to be fair, it is officially still Beta.
that is in fact a kind of good reason not to publish the code yet. However, what if they stay in beta for years? or what if they wait enough so that people just stop caring if it is proprietary or not. I don't know how many more arguments to make against. What I know is that Brave Search is in a kind of delicate position, and I'm not sure if things will go well around it (brave search).
Brave so far has a good history of open sourcing their stuff, they are pretty transparent. I am not defending them nor do I say everything they do is perfect, but I think we can all agree that they at least try to provide a reliable solution to avoid using Google Search. I do not like to speculate or interpret something more into this.
