I do buy the cliff-edge argument, but for any normal runway (talking about big airports) why does a crew choose to potentially require some

exciting handling in the go case .. very much needing sim exposure and practice to reduce the startle factor.
rather than: Idle, brakes, TR.

A 96,000lb Global at +45 deg, calm wind: Rolling t/o, rotate at VR, climb to 50ft, idle, land ahead, stop. All on a 15,000ft runway! Okay, in the sim, but why would I ever have used a V1 < VR?
