What would change your view about that?

This was one of the best uses of GPUs 10 years ago, people still have those instances running just in case people use “obscure” common phrases from books again instead of mnemonics

Its more like anyone that thought they were clever got swept. There arent statistics, just threads on bitcointalk and reddit

If you used common phrases from books you definitely aren’t clever and deserve to have your funds swept.

The person who originated the practice and created the first "brainwallet" site did exactly what you're doing: insisted that it was secure, and insisted that people who lost their funds deserved it. Are you also doing what he did? stealing the funds of the deserving victims yourself?

Eventually taking the weak brainwallets he talked people into creating wasn't enough: He lost his bitcoin (I think via gambling but maybe an exchange hack), whined he was broke for a while, and whined that not many people were making hackable brainwallets, then added a more explicit vulnerability to the site. He vanished after it was caught.
