Brawn won because of their rear double diffuser design that no other team was able to emulate.
Just for accuracy's sake, IIRC, all the other teams protested the design vigorously, and during this time Button absolutely dominated. When the double diffuser was declared legal, everyone scrambled to make their own designs, and in the second half of the season Brawn was no longer so dominant and Button had to hang on for dear life to win the championship. It didn't help that Barrichello also occasionally out-drove him in the second half of the season. It wasn't an impressive way to close out the season, but hey, people only remember the championship.
You can review what the season looked like at a glance here:

While it's absolutely true that Brawn fell off in the second half of 2009, and Red Bull rose to have the dominant car, Button didn't hang on. True, Barrichello won two races when Button didn't win a single GP in the second half, but those two races aside, there was only one GP in 2009 where both Brawn drivers finished with Barrichello ahead of Button (and that was in the first half of the season).
Between Barrichello, Webber, and Hamilton taking points off Vettel, the WDC was really never in doubt for Button after that incredible first half.
But yeah there is a stark difference in Brawn's form before/after the modification to that season's technical regs.
