It's all about reaction time.
When you're landing, everything is focused on slowing the plane.
When you're taking off, you're thinking about going.
When something abnormal happens on takeoff, you first need to identify it. Then you need to decide to do something about it. Then you need to physically accomplish it. In the meantime, you're airspeed is increasing and the runway is getting shorter.
As they say, the accident investigators will take two years to decide if the decision you made was appropriate. You only get two seconds.
Good luck!
