Reversers are great for a safety redundancy add-on. However their reliability tied together with piloting does not yield the level of reliability necessary for an acceptable level of safety for all landings.

They are one of those systems that are nice to have but if they malfunction at a "critical" time they are "gothchas" If you start depending on them then they become "critical" to the landing.
