Captain reported receiving a LAHSO clearance while on high speed landing roll. The Captain highlighted this as an unsafe practice and questioned the safety of the procedure.

Narrative

HNL ATIS advertises for crews to advise on initial contact with approach NEGATIVE LAHSO if that's the case. We did advise negative LAHSO. Vectors were provided to 04R for a visual. Upon touchdown and while dealing with all the normal activities a flight crew does during landing rollout; including possible transfer of flight controls between seats; the tower instructs us to hold short of 8L. This is a back handed LAHSO clearance and not appreciated. It's also a regular clearance given in HNL to arriving 04R traffic. There is no time to comprehend or compute performance; etc. It's a horrible work around clearance for negative LAHSO aircraft that should be terminated immediately as it introduces away too many last minute hazards to the operation of jets to this runway. When queried why they are giving LAHSO clearances to negative LAHSO operators; the tower simply responds that it's not their opinion that they are. They believe the jet is simply in a high speed taxi" and therefore it is a hold short clearance.Stop the practice of issuing backhanded LAHSO clearances to jets who are in high speed rollout following a touchdown and landing. Assign arrivals to 8L the LAHSO and land negative LAHSO operations on 04R or visa versa."
