XNR,

Great questions, yet again! Some reasons:
1)The brakes are very effective, but they have energy limits. The max brake application speed is 34 knots
2) On anything but a very smooth surface, speeds above about 15 to 20 knots can be very bad on the gear, and on control while stopping (skidding, etc.)
