There's nothing to be gained in a transport category airplane by holding the stick back while slowing to sub-reverser speeds, or by holding the nose off, while landing.

Just about says it? Aerodynamic breaking may have been relevant in the days of the Comet, with it's barn door flaps etc., and the original V bombers but not in the case of the high speed wing of the majority of Boeings.

Obviously applying reverse when the nose wheel is still off the runway in a rear engined plane is a complete NO NO.
