It's an opinion based on the characteristics of various bar positions, the uses of a brake, and the requirements of riding. If you feel like you didn't have enough power with a normal lever you need to get your brakes adjusted. And don't forget the whole point of cross levers is that they can be used
inline therefore not requiring you to remove your other lever at all.
Bullhorns with cross levers are pretty ****ty too. Once again if you can reach the lever you have less control over the bike then you do with other hand positions.
cut off risers just give you ****ty leverage/control period.
