It's sadistic authoritarianism as designer. Just to pick out one aspect: raw concrete is a viciously cruel material to use in human spaces. It tears at your skin if you rub against it. It slowly crumbles. It's hard to clean.

To modify it you need heavy equipment, and patches/repairs never match the original. My mom worked at a university with a brutalist campus, and the walls *stank* because students would cram chewed gum into holes and crevices.

Can't clean gum out of pourous surfaces like that without heavy equipment. Mom permanently damaged her back falling on a set of steps that were a) built to the wrong scale b) had no support railing because c) 'aesthetic'.

Some brutalist designs may look attractive as table models, if you ruthlessly purge any thought from your mind that people have to live in them, or if you're sociopathic and don't care.
