Thoughts on BRKU as a long-termish play?

Im my case about 5 years when I probably have to start selling off a bit to access funds.  I know there have been other posts on this ETF lately, but I did not find quite the answer I’ve sought after I read a comment by another poster (and have been unable to since locate).

They said something to the effect: “They may have to borrow in order to invest into BRK/B.”  I wasn’t quite sure what this meant  **(Again I am paraphrasing and I may have not quite caught the exact gist of what they were saying).**  If someone could read between the lines and explain a bit more, would appreciate it.  I do know they meant this comment on BRKU as a hindrance.  I am aware I can always just buy into **BRKB** itself, but I have a hard time seeing how 30 shares (about what I could purchase)…could grow somewhat exponentially in about 5 years.  Plus, the uncertainty about what Buffet’s eventually passing might mean to the company, etc.  But if I am still betting overall on their continued success, 2X’s daily leverage sounds pretty good to me.  BRKU is about $30.50/share as of this writing.

Thanks for any insights or if you see it as a good investment.
