isn't the break just letting go of the throttle? kind easier than having to double tap to reverse.. but idk i haven't had an RC without a break and kinda find it annoying to double tap on my bashers
letting go of the throttle isn't breaking, it is just letting the unit freewheel. and tapping on reverse (without break function) will grind the gears. imagine going fully speed then reversing immediately. that is the reason for the break function of some esc. there are ESCs out there wherein you can choose either F/B/R, F/B, F/R. so to each his own I say. if what you do works for you, then great.
