The mighty Tornado also has thrust reversers!
Some civvy pilots aren't good enough to put it on the numbers without f-ing up. The policies have to fit the worst guy qualified.
It's a trade off. Do you hit the numbers or the piano keys? If you land a bit long on most landings, it won't matter much. If you land a bit short it will almost always matter.
Certain aircraft types like harriers, or bush pilots doing strip landings will always try and hit as close as they can the end of the runway. Many other mil types may need to land close to the edge in case of wartime bomb damage, and day one of the war is no time to start learning.
