I've been seeing some people getting indignant about how Moxfield/Archidekt sorted one of their decks into a particular bracket, and extrapolating that to speak to the validity, or lack thereof, of the bracket system as a whole.

"Oh, just because my deck has one copy of Catastrophe in it, it's automatically a Bracket 4 deck!?"; "It's counting Sift through Sands as a tutor!?"—that sort of thing. Lots of things to keep in mind here:
- The teams at Moxfield/Archidekt/Scryfall only had a couple weeks to implement these features.
- Just yesterday I saw Moxfield (that's the site I use) making improvements and acting on feedback.
- These features can only compare the decklist to pre-set lists...
...there's no way a bundle of code will be able to distinguish between a bracket 1 deck and a bracket 2 deck, or a bracket 3 deck with no game changer cards with a bracket 4 deck with no game changer cards.
- On Moxfield at least, you can manually change a deck's bracket (in the deck's Settings).
- You are smarter than the deckbuilding website's bracket tool. Everyone expects you to be smarter than the deckbuilding website's bracket tool.
- If you don't like it, on Moxfield you can disable the bracket tool. (Settings->User Preferences->Other Preferences)
