Most modern lines are already braided, as well as layered inside. Heck- even a simple coolant hose- for decades- has inlayed braided reinforcement.
Any bulging that old actual ‘just rubber’ lines had went away long ago.
That doesn’t stop companies from selling stuff though.
Note- external steel braided lines are known not just to cause damage to adjacent things they rub against- but dirt gets inside the weave and movement eventually damages the hose itself.

Alright - learned something.
The maintenance schedule does not even mention brake lines, other than inspection the brake system. It DOES say to change the brake fluid every 2 years or 12000 miles, whichever comes sooner.

Your bike, your mods your desire
Yes, but the Honda manual suggest changing brake likes every couple years I think. Who does that? The Braided Steel lines will last for years, and are warrantied for the life of your bike. And they do help with stopping on a high speed stop, especially w/out ABS.

Hardcore members at ADV forums appear to suggest that exterior braided lines deteriorate in profuse off-road riding conditions. Something about the debris getting into the exterior braiding.
For on-road, and if one needs to change the lines out anyway, why not go braided? If a lot of freeway riding is done, would it not help as a defensive measure to have braided lines against rocks and stones? Sure, the brake assertion might feel punchier, but the owner knows that already.
