Perhaps they know something you don't?
I'm sure they do, but looking "well smart" is not the first function of your braking system
I did that on my MK1 Escort and my FJR. You still keep the flexibility of the hoses that is required but by covering them in braid, you stop the expansion and get a better feel at the pedal. A very common brake upgrade. Anyone that knows anything about cars knows that.I have run all my brake lines in braided stainless steel
Looks well smart if I do say so my self
One car forum I am on said you can’t do that bla bla
FAQs: What are the benefits of Braided Brake Lines?
What are the benefits of Braided Brake Lines? In every hydraulic braking system, the standard rubber flexible brake hoses are the weakest point, prone to damage from corrosion and abrasion, and often suffering from expansion under hard braking. Goodridge high performance brake lines consist of a...

Are ordinary, manufacturer fitted hoses not embedded with a steel mesh reinforcement already?
Big disadvantage of SS replacement hoses, is there is no way to assess the condition of the rubber, inside the SS, they can look great on the outside.
No. Fabric material.
There is no rubber under the SS mesh.
Nope the entire system
It’s normally rigid brake lines to the near the wheels
How ever Ultima sports cars who build the 200 mph super car use entirely flexible braided stainless brake pipes for there cars and the way I see it if it’s good enough for them tis good enough for me ???
A build of one of there cars is on u tube Nigel dean V 8 creative his attention to detail is staggering

What prevents the fluid escaping?
I think the point is that, whatever is containing the brake fluid - be that rubber, PTFE, fairies' intestines, or the like - the SS braid coating prevents than tubing being visually-checked for weak spots.
On an expensive supercar, you can routinely replace parts if you know they have limited life.
More humble folk only replace things when they go wrong.
The stainless braided PTFE hoses have been routine on glossy bikes for many years, I suppose their service life is known by now. I think I used to hear of the shiny alloy ends cracking sometimes.

Afaik You cannot use alloy fittings on brake lines
You cannot use plumbing grade copper either
Where have you heard that? Copper brake pipe is a common easy fit, and safe replacement for corroded steel pipes, always providing it is adequately clipped. I have used it many times over the years.
Yes you can get copper brake pipe specific for brake lines
Pure copper tubing is how ever unsuitable for brake lines
States the case / warning in my build manual for my car
