The use of autobrake reduces brake wear and minimises brake temperatures whilst still achieving what you want to achieve. Brakes are obviously designed to be used without autobrake or brake pedals wouldn’t be fitted and whilst manual braking is not necessarily bad for the
aeroplane it is, categorically, not as efficient as using autobrakes.
