What specifically is wrong with them? I've never used them myself, genuinely curious. I saw some people using them on YouTube and was intrigued.

Compared to a regular splice the connection is very poor, they aren't compatible with aluminum wiring and those plastic clips you push down can break. Using them is similar to back stabbing a plug (when you don't wrap the wires around the screws but instead push them in the holes in the back of the plug), it greatly increases the chance of having an open circuit in the future.
