For a dwelling where that existed and it was original, I could understand the charm.
For a new build or remodel? I can't imagine wanting to put that down in a kitchen, largely because it just seems like a mess to keep clean in a kitchen. But maybe that thought is biased since it strays so far from my aesthetic tastes.
Sunbather said it well. IF you like the look you must be willing to do the work in terms of cleaning. I am always cleaning my kitchen floor so I personally would not want to clean real brick.
I have a friend with the Chicago 4x8 Wrigley in her kitchen and it is gorgeous. It looks like “real” brick, but behaves like regular porcelain tile. They used a grayish grout, sized to resemble mortar.

That would be my only objection. I like the look, and don't agree that it would be hard to clean. But would I want to be standing on brick for hours while I bake Christmas cookies? Nope. That's why I'm not a big fan of tile in the kitchen, either.
