Reducing runway occupancy time
BTV is not a cure-all.
"the potential of reducing runway occupancy time by up to 30 percent"
Many people just assume that it is there for, and will be used to, minimise ROT.
One could just as easily see a situation where it is used instead to roll to a further exit than normal for the same ROT as a non-BTV aircraft of the same type.

"the potential of reducing runway occupancy time by up to 30 percent" like any manufacturer's claim, needs to be taken with a pinch of salt
That's a completely accurate statement.
Out of interest, have you noticed much difference in the braking profiles of EK's A388s at Heathrow, compared to QF, SQ and MH's that don't use BTV ?
