Fly-by-wire laws on a Boeing do not change during the flare maneuver and you stay in "normal".
This isn’t strictly true. They do change. The pitch law includes landing flare compensation, in order to preserve desirable handling characteristics during the flare. Any kind of C* law is challenging to land without a nose-down bias (Airbus used to introduce a gradual pitch down command during the flare, but this was removed from the Neo - presumably due to the natural pitch-power couple from the larger engines).

My understanding is that the 777 is effectively direct wheel-to-aileron control, moderated by the PFCs for flight envelope protection. 787 is a more advanced roll-rate command akin to the Airbus.
