Why does U-Haul use them? Well for one they don't get used a whole lot in the mountains. They also don't care a whole lot if they get over heated and don't work very well. But mostly they use them because it required nothing special from the tow vehicle.
Isn't that a big advantage?

someone who has pulled a heavy boat with them, I can tell you that very careful modulation of the brakes is required and even then, you sometimes have to hit the gas for a second to get them to release. (brand new trailer btw)
And if you use an exhaust brake then they will be actuated the entire time your descending a hill.
That is when you need them, isn't it? When / If they over heat, pull out and allow them to cool. I pulled the jeep on a U-Hual with surge brakes, from Oakland Ca. to Oak Harbor Wa. up the east side Via 97, and Stevens pass, not a problem. Why should a box trailer be any different?
