The factorisation is to allow for the fact that we are not perfect pilots. So you may approach at the wrong speed flare at the wrong height take off the thrust at the wrong pace etc etc etc.

Once you're on the ground the aircraft brakes take over. It knows exactly where you are on the runway. Exactly how well you're decelerating. Never having used it why would ROPS need factorisation on basically the autobrake performance?
