Those who takeoff with heels on ground may struggle to get the foot up for differential braking. In 747 classic the nose wheel is not connected to the rudders and in the simulator this exercise with runway wet was challenging but still it was manageable if feet were up.

This again,

Are there any operators out there who encourage this dubious practice ?

Heels should be on the floor for take off and on landing until initiating manual braking
