Yeah, there have been some controversies with that, but it's not like it was their choice. People are quick to forget that all the KYC requirements come from governments, not businesses.
But I believe the KYC only applies to Brave rewards not Brave wallet (as mentioned above, they are not the same thing).
Anyhow, MetaMask seems to be working fine for me at least so far.
I only gave information for people who did not know about Brave team but Brave browser and Brave wallet are different products. People are all free to choose wallets they want to use, that can be MetaMask, Trust, Brave, Myetherwallet and anything else.
They only need to have basic information about these wallets, read reviews and consider risk and benefit of their experience and their fund safety, before using one wallet.
It's good to see your sharing that MetaMask wallet works fine with your end.
