The problem with weight on wheels switches is that they're not that reliable, there was a problem on the RN Lynx when they added one during an upgrade and then because it failed so often they gave the crew a switch to manually set instead. Don't forget it can fail on take-off as well which opens up all kinds of interesting scenarios.
