The briefing for the Portal mode says people won't be able to make the BR mode, why?

Look under the DISCOVER. CREATE. SHARE.
"There will be some limitations such as not being able to build a Battle Royale mode (yes, we knew you would ask)."

Avoiding cannibalising on their own APEX Legends could be one reason.
Agreed @kregora ,
Lots of the involved game mechanics are certainly BR...
Now I am no BR expert. At all ! 😀
But the Gun Master game mode could in principle be added to the Portal Creator. And that could then be the basis for players creating maybe not direct copies of other BR game mechanics/gameplays, but at least become pretty close to the same core principles of one against one and everybody else. And last man standing would be the winner.
Again, it would take that EA enables that we can hinder a player to spawn in again after first death. Personally I know that would be a very simple logic functionality to enable in the engine. Question is just if EA will add it or not, for it to be available to us. As many players would probably not like the fact if such 'feature' would be abused in other portal creations.
Aka a game creator could set up a server, which could block a player from respawning if player is above a certain k/d score rate. Or block a player from respawning back in again if already having amassed a certain number of kills by piloting an aircraft or by driving a ground vehicle.
So many potential abuses could be coded into the 'rules' for a certain server design, if EA gave us all the options.
Maybe they don't want us down that rabbit hole..
I would like to hear your side as to why you think Battle Royales don't belong in the Battlefield series, but only if you want to.
For example, Why would someone who doesn't have any ambitions and/ or interest to play Battle Royales care if others do. I don't understand why anyone would care if others got to play them in the same setting.
The more I listen to the ideas of the older fans of the series I do see a recurring biased opinion, and/ or notion that Battlefield should never change, but in all honestly it's so much less like it's original, then it ever has.
You are all wrong... put the tin foil hats away and have a think about it. For BR to work you have to have multiple servers running the map so as players die the queue up for the next round. You need at least three servers so that you get full enough lobby to kick the game off with a short wait between rounds. So the game starts with 64 players and you lose 32 players in the first 5 min you have 32 waiting to start the next round. Times that by 3 servers and you have a server starting every 10 min in a game that lasts 30 min. If the population keeps growing the number of servers has to increase and the wait time between game starts to decrease. That's how BR works. So that requires a completely different server setup to one that just loads a custom map/rotation and getting people to join it. You only need one instance on the server. Unless you are happy to start the BR and when you die spectate the whole game until it ends then start the next round. Think about ??? with discord it can never work 🙂
But to be honest I don't really know this just my best guess.
Yeah, I'm the same way. I might dislike something, but I won't go and just let no one enjoy it because of that.
A side topic, I really wish Conquest had more to it. Like during the beta, that map Orbital just felt so empty at times. I really wish Conquest had more roles for each capture spot. Like each section and/ or flag offered the players a unique vehicle, weapon and/ or experience to entice players to want to defend them.
