Hell, I'm playing Baral and at multiple points even I say that yea Baral is busted. If he was so good he killed paper brawl and was banned why would he be fine with even more cards.

That said, we instituted commander weighting for Brawl specifically so that more powerful commanders could keep existing without stomping all over everyone else - and we would like to see if it can handle Baral before locking him out. (As others have noted, Omnath is still kicking around, as well, and it's for the same reason.)
Is commander weight a hard matchmaking constraint or a soft one? Is it even on for Historic Brawl? I've been facing pretty much the whole gamut of commanders, from complete jank to Omnath/Baral without changing my own commander, so I just assumed the commander weight was off for historic brawl.
Soft. If you don't find an opponent immediately, the matchmaker will slowly expand its range to look for someone "good enough." And the rest of your deck still matters; a high-tier commander with a much weaker deck can still find a "good" match against a normal commander loaded up with premium cards.
