I don't doubt that it is much harder to brute force a key than a
password. I simply say that it is not always practical. Anyone stealing
or finding your usb or laptop will likely not be too interested in your
data.
But, now you have to carry the key and protect it. If you travel a lot,
and travel light, you bring just a usb stick which is easily lost, and
being without access for months is not fun.
