Easy answer - If I'm a BRIC nation, with the exception of maybe India (although they are generally Putin fans), I wouldn't want to hold reserves in USD after the USA weaponized their monetary system.  In retrospect, 20 years from now, their will be an easily identifiable cause and effect relationship. And then, maybe, Americans will realize what they have lost by sacrificing reserve currency status (or they will somehow blame higher interest rates and the inability to conduct monetary policy in the way we've been so lucky to have on the rich...the standard scapegoat vs the truth).
