Well... All aircraft should be landed gently,
Have you ever hard of The Navy way of flying.

Have you ever heard of Aquaplaning?

Have you ever heard of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II?


I suspect that some airliner pilot training focuses more on get the plane on the ground in the touchdown zone, rather than get it to the touchdown zone, and then finesse a good landing.
Having been the trained and the trainer I would put that differently.

Professional pilots spend more time worrying about what happens between take off and decision height, amateur pilots obsess about what happens on touchdown. The landing is the conclusion of the airborne period to allow the aircraft to taxi to the stand. After landing, if the aircraft remains on the tarmac with all wheels and tyres intact and facing the same way as on take off and no technical log entry is necessary, you are then ready to proceed to the next and most difficult stage of the flight, taxing to the stand.
