No pilot 'slams' the aircraft into the ground for no reason. It can be weather/conditions, approach speed or simply the fact they have less runway before they turn off onto the taxiway. At some locations if you use the full runway you would have to turn at the end of the runway and backtrack, wasting time and fuel.
