As I recall, most large commercial (& probably military as well) aircraft have an automation pilot aid that the spoilers and/or thrust reversers can be armed to deploy automatically as load comes onto the main landing gear. I believe this is to cut down on pilot workload in gusty conditions to cut the lift and/or thrust to make sure that the plane remains stuck to the runway when it lands rather than have it balloon up or bounce on landing.
