Yes… They interact quite a bit (the brain and the rest of the universe)… Then what am I doing investing in a technology that gives me the best chance of recovering the pattern within that brain?
I get the point, but the interaction between the brain and the rest of the universe is not likely to leave a durable pattern upon the universe of the pattern in the brain. I am open to being wrong about that.

Because of our uncertainty about how much information is preserved and how easy it is to reconstruct. Cryonics is the most conservative option.
