On the bike and run, briefs are way more comfortable than the one piece tri short set up, on hot days far more cool, and they look really awesome.

It's more of a padding issue. Cycling shorts have a padding on the back to making cycling more comfortable. Tri shorts have less padding but it still helps. I have not seen brief style cycling or Tri shorts.
