I fly Trent powered A330's. There is so much residual thrust on 2, even at idle that you are quickly doing more than 30kts. Single engine taxi is a much easier and cheaper operation because not only does it save fuel but it saves considerably on brake wear because they are carbon and the wear occurs per application, not on duration and severity.
