What were they thinking will stop them, aerodynamic drag?
Where's there any suggestion the runway was contaminated? The METAR doesn't mention anything remotely suggesting that is possible and the videos show it isn't even raining.
Ditto re stowing speedbrakes and idle reverse. Where's that come from?
No shortage of contaminated RT though, as usual. "We're rolling the trucks en route" indeed! Let alone readbacks from most of the other traffic, in a situation where punctilous readbacks are even more essential than usual.
