Well taking a turn off at high speed wasn’t what I discussed - rather the difference between icy conditions, where a taxiway may well not be so well deiced as a runway - and not.
In icy conditions you will use as much of the runway as necessary to decelerate and won’t be trying for an early exit.
If you are prepared by having the reverser in idle, you are in better shape to react to this not uncommon case - particularly if you are first landing after RW opening... The airport ties hard to keep/get the runway open and taxy ways come second.
Generally under such conditions there is less risk of stone ingestion, but snow can be blown loose.
