There are more opportunities to slow down, e.g.
what’s about speedbrakes
what’s about gear
Those are tools not opportunities. Indiscriminate use would be poor flying.
Being ahead of the airplane, you keep evaluating what happens next. Take flaps out at the last good opportunity that warrants a stable approach without the use of increased drag techniques.
