Why do I need this plugin? Why doesn't this functionality exist already? Matomo detects what device/user agent is sending requests to your Matomo server by using the user agent sent with the request to the web server. The Brave browser is unique because it doesn't send it's own custom "User Agent" with web requests - it basically pretends to be a normal Chrome browser. The only way to detect if a browser is a Brave browser is with the use a Brave-specific function using Javascript.
