Airbus Flysmart TO Perf EO Acceleration

The Flysmart Takeoff performance calculated Engine Out Acceleration Altitude for most airports with no terrain considerations is 800ft AGL. What happened to the days of 1500 AGL as a rule? I keep on telling guys that this is simply a minimum and I can adjust it to a higher value (limited by TOGA time limit) if I wanted to. Seems we have a lot of monkey say, monkey do going on. I'm being asked "where is it written that you can change it?" It's common sense that you probably don't want to be accelerating at 800ft AGL out of LGW given 3 GA airfields in close proximity. Thoughts?
