This is completely subjective.

As a student I used a ton of warez software in the 90ies. As such, I didn't have any real prejudice back then, and photoshop was the worst of the bunch from my perspective. I held that view for a long time, akin to how I consider autocad from autodesk one of the worst cads you could use despite being outrageously popular.

I have no longer an opinion on it as I didn't use it for such a long time. I'm cycling between krita and GIMP, and GIMP's UI is just fine to me, in the same way I suppose a ton of designers-with-big-opinions are more familiar with photoshop due to all the training they did on it (and probably, _mostly_ on it).

Sure, our expectations about UI patterns are path dependent. However, if a program isn't consistent internally [0] (rather than against the body of software we are familiar with), then the complaint is less subjective.

I get that whoever made and posted that terrible youtube short is annoyed, but if they had done a basic search online, specifically "how to edit a brush in gimp", the first result would have taken them to this page:

https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-brush-dialog.html

Which says:

It is a general rule that you cannot alter the resources that GIMP pre-installs for you: brushes, patterns, gradients, etc; only ones that you create yourself.

It's okay to be annoyed when something doesn't work the way you want it to, but RTFM before you make a rant about it. It's the bare minimum.
