Functionally, it's hard to modulate and performs more like on/off switch. It kind of negates the whole disc brake advantage. Also, it adds a bit of weight to the front end which impacts handling.
Not exactly related to functions, the thing is proprietary Giant so upgrade of any kind would be difficult down the road. The box also sits in front of the stem which requires again proprietary stem and other accessories, e.g. a Garmin mount. Not to mention how ugly it looks.
