Default A380 flew into Heathrow today

The one thing that caught my attention (okay, TWO things) besides how
solidly the pilot plunked the plane onto the runway (evidenced by wing
flexing) was that only the inboard engines have thrust reversers. I'd
assumed all four did, as any aircraft that heavy would probably need
lotsa help slowing down during the rollout.
