.. provided that any RTOW penalty is taken into account .. potential problem is a light aircraft on a short, (near limiting) runway where part thrust acceleration from a standing start could compromise the numbers a tad ... which is why the rolling procedure is predicated on entering the runway at a suitable taxy speed.

Overall, the maintenance cost penalties associated with static full thrust takeoffs are the driver in this consideration.
