I think you’re on to something here. If you’re trying to save an unstable approach (fast and a little high) with flight idle and just rolling trim back, you’ll find that you’ve trimmed the elevator into a position where you don’t have enough elevator to flare. Couple this with the fact that you have to manually deploy the spoilers upon touch down, things can get out of hand quickly.
