For an unprepared emergency, varying with individual airline SOP, the "brace brace" can be omitted for the reasons mentioned above. The pax just aren't really familiar enough with it in a sudden emergency.
Also can't speak for all airlines, especially those in Russia - but most don't include brace as part of the safety briefing these days.
