We do but its a balancing act. Spacing is increased but not by so much that it wastes space and causes huge delays. If the preceding is in the exit just before you cross the threshold is ideal.
If your runway occupancy time is longer than the previously observed average you will cause a go around. If you go off the side, the result is much worse both for you and those following. Do your best but stay safe.
