Several companies I have worked with have specified PM call "autobrake disarm" either during an RTO , or after a normal landing.
The logic behind this being that during either scenario your attention may be out the window, & you may not pick it up in your field of vision depending on your seating position/ambient light. It is also a useful heads up early in the landing roll, if they have unintentionally disarmed, rather than been disengaged by you, braking manually.
Thought it made good sense, can't see why you would find it so odd, siting in the RHS it is right under your nose, in the LHS it is not.
Given the unfortunate frequency of runway excursions ( more often than not following deep/fast landings) I hope if you are ever involved in one, or indeed a high speed abort, you will prioritise stopping on the paved surface over scoring points.
