I wonder if the OP is confusing the RTO function with max auto. As I recall max auto is less than max manual. However, in the RTO situation the SOP would be to utilise the RTO function which as others have said will apply brakes quicker than the pilot can. Not least as he/she may be preoccupied containing the swing! In that respect manual braking is only used as a backup to the RTO function being inop.

Of course the low speed RTO where the engines will still be trying to set TOGA and the RTO function has yet to be activated is an eye opener. “Too quick for the tiller, too slow for the rudders” as an experienced trainer used to say. Oh and don’t forget to click out the autothrust.
