Some thoughts

at high speed there is a very large heat load on the brakes which can be partially offset by a high reverse thrust setting on the engine.

at low speed the thermal balance (heat-in vs heat-out) on the brakes is much less while high reverse thrust ends up getting in front of the engine and causing FOD.

I'm sure there are some more signifcant effects to come in this discussion
