Why?

No brad nailer, whatsoever!


I have used this technique with good success. My Porter Cable BN250
shoots 2.5" 16 gage "brads".
A couple of shots in opposite directions, angled in like toe nailing
will lock up that subfloor just fine.
(if he can hit the joists)

I see your point. I would have concerns that the brads would pull
loose and not be as secure as a screw or nail. Given the flex and
movement of the subfloor...imo.
