This is not necessarily true, a hybrid gives you all the benefits of standard position, standard intake etc and easy fitting. The restrictive bit of a gt15 or ko3 for that matter is the size of the exducer on the turbine and in the hotside casting, with a hybrid you are milling this out to make it much bigger and allowing loads more flow through it.
So I wouldnt say they are a terrible way to go by any means, most turbos in existance are hybrids of different parts to suit different applications for car manufacturers.
