That does make sense. Note that even with brutality mode off, there are already stricter recruiting options - such as not being able to recruit Nobles unless you are a faction member, and Nobles requiring renown to recruit.
Having faction-strict recruiting without brutality mode is an option, though I feel it sort of railroads the player into joining a faction whether they want to or not.
