Given that many large aircraft use main gear compression (aka "Weight On Wheels" or WOW) to enable various braking devices such as thrust reversers and spoiler/speed brakes, "aero-braking" could easily lengthen stopping distances by preventing timely use of the devices that are intended to slow and stop the aircraft.
