Steel brake lines do not swell as a flexible line might. With continuous use, a flexible brake line can stretch from the pressure of the fluid running through it. Such situation is called brake line swelling. Brake line swelling may not be a huge concern, but once the line is stretched the line pressure also lessens which results to weak performance.
