And if you wonder why it happens on all Boeings (except 787!) and no Airbus the reason is in the brake design. On the Boeing there is a shuttle valve that supplies hydraulic fluid from main or alternate hydraulic system. But on an Airbus brake there are two sets of pistons, One for main and one for alternate.
Go look at an A320 brake, then go to a B737 and it is obvious.
