In some things there isnt so much difference

As with the autobrake system. In the Boeing, you turn a switch, on the 'bus you press a button to set it.

If the pilots really did not notice that the autobrakes are not retarding until they were almost off the runway, meaning they were not activated in the first place or deactivated somehow, it wouldnt have made any difference if had been a bus or a boeing - not working is not working.

Pilots should notice these things.

That is why you have:
1.) speed trend vectors
2.) a call of decel green
3.) Your collective experience as a flight crew.
4.) a chance to go around (although I imagine this not being much fun here)

This should not be reduced to a bus or boeing problem - the causes will, as always be numerous and far more complicated.
