But that would create the likelyhood of FOD (Foreign Object Damage) to aircraft using the runway - a jet engine with some fragments getting sucked in a high speed is sub-optimal.
(it can take hours to do a FOD walk on a runway - I've taken part in some before, and it's basically a long line of people very close together walking up and down the runway for a couple of hours to clear any fragments off).
