Is this not emphasized in other segments of the aviation industry? Is an initial response to unresponsive brakes after touchdown usually to pull the emergency brakes instead of going around?
Can't speak for light corporate jets but in the Part 121 jet world, once the reversers are out in most shops you are committed to the landing and SOP is no go around at that point. Airlines also try and avoid incorporating fighter jet techniques in handling large jetliners, as the NTSB pointed out in the AA 587 crash aftermath with AA's "Advanced Maneuvering Training Program." If the Boeing or Airbus manufacturers haven't published a [insert method] it probably shouldn't be used in normal every day life.
