The obvious benefit of taking a late exit to make it more comfortable.
And provoke a go-around while passing the 22L localizer exiting at Z at JFK (last exit of the runway, 8000 feet)
Emirates and Etihad are the prime candidates.
In contrast a heavy 747 on approach even announced it would need the full runway implicating increased spacing requirements as conditions where below CATI. And they managed to take the exit before the last one in contrast to some A380s which seem to take that exit on purpose.
Oh well i guess it's a little bit of ATC failure to recognize the problem and tell the crew also.
Not so relevant right now because the A380s are not coming in by the minute.
But still also landing other runways BTV seems to encourage taking quite some time on the runway delaying the exit.
