Once again, you’re talking about usability of the addresses for internet connectivity.

I don’t understand the relevance since we’re talking about a GUA based substitute for ULA.

What am I missing?

Another problem with tunnel brokers is that they are sometimes flagged by content providers as being some sort of 
"proxy", and consequently won't send you traffic. Notably, Netflix.

For myriad reasons (added latency, reliability concerns related to relying
on traffic over a connection which doesn't offer an SLA or recourse for
downtime, lack of support on ISP-provided CPE, etc) a tunnel broker
connection may not be a feasible choice for all organizations and
networks.  This brings us back to my previous point.
