The only difference is the auto call out on the airbus. Boeing puts the same word in the FMA, just commenting on your mental state a bit sneakier but with the same disdain

Dunno about Boeings, Airbusses will tell you if the runway is too short for the thrust you have actually set, so there is already a cross check of the real performance. Red “T.O RUNWAY TOO SHORT” alert on setting take off thrust if the actual thrust is not enough to enable a safe distance for lift off.

Nevertheless, a quick glance is of course always a good idea to check for yourself as the PF.
