If you confirm spoilers before selecting reverse, you preserve the option of a go-around if the spoilers do not deploy.

On the other hand, if you select reverse immediately on touch down on a limiting runway (especially without EMAS), you have just made a big bet that the spoilers will work as advertised and that none of the interlocks will get in the way.
