Is every touchdown a stall?

Are there reasons and circumstances, other than when you've a short
runway, to recommend full-stall landings?
There is less wear and tear on brakes and tires. You are traveling slower
if a loss of directional control occurs. Brakes have been known to fail.
It shows mastery of the aircraft. You can turn off the runway sooner for a
potentially shorter taxi time. Turning off the runway sooner is a courtesy
to those waiting to use the runway.
another good reason is: practice. It is a good idea to try to make
every landing a good training opportunity; for instance, try to make
it a precision landing every time, or practice short field or soft
field landing techniques, so that when you really have to get it right,
for instance during an emergency landing, you'll be well prepared.
