This forum needs a “like” button. I’ll admit I’m biased because my airline uses the “landing” callout, but let’s play devil’s advocate here.

You get to DA, and call “landing”. At 100ft, an aircraft down the runway starts to cross. Are you going to land the airplane because you said “landing” and are thus mentally prepared to land? As somebody said, I’d like to see some actual evidence to support that claim. If that’s indeed true, we’re in big trouble.

You’re not committed to the landing until the reversers are unlocked, and even then, one can make an argument for sufficiently long runways, but that’s for another day.
