You'll find that the higher heat method is the minority but plenty of people on the circuit use the technique as they feel they can better control the cook time.
If you have a cooker that can maintain 225 and plenty of time, I'd go low and slow. If you have a cooker that struggles to maintain a low temp or want to do a brisket without burning an entire day, you might benefit from a higher heat method.

That infrared cooker can maintain that temp perfectly and smoke a pile of wood chips on the other side... I am gonna do this ....
