I remember when I was a kid and we would sometimes go out to eat for breakfast in the morning. We'd be all ready to go and my dad would be like, "wait, I just need to brush my teeth"

I would constantly get on his case about that. "Why brush your teeth BEFORE eating breakfast? It would be smarter to do it when we get home." He never changed though. He always quipped back "Because I won't do it when we get home, so better now than not at all."

I would think though that most morning-only brushers hopefully do it after breakfast at least or perhaps they usually skip breakfast.

If I'm going out for breakfast I'd definitely brush first. If I'm eating breakfast at home, sure, it can wait. But I wouldn't want to be out in public with morning breath.

I had friends who got grossed out when I said I brushed after breakfast though. Like, there were 4 or 5 of them in the room with me, all of whom couldn't imagine eating breakfast before brushing teeth. idk.
