I get what you're saying but you're showing a lack of systems knowledge with that argument
I understand how the auto brakes work thank you. All I'm saying is the day someone goes off the end of a runway because they are hell bent on using only idle because the "overhead bins rattle" then land long, one of the FAA's first questions will be "did you use reverse?" Enjoy explaining that to them and one conversations i'd rather avoid all together.
