If you factor in the cost of ownership, including maintenance, it's far cheaper to not even own a reverser and its maintenance. Of course then you are going to have to rely on both the pilots and the brakes not to overextend the safety margins presumed in each legal landing.

I like an occasional backup like a chute, or an arrestor system and forget the reversers
