Every operating manual I've ever read, and I've checked out in 10 different jet aircraft types, says, in so many words:
"The pilot will not reject the takeoff after V1 unless he/she considers the aircraft incapable of flight."
That would be an important caveat in some scenarios such as the loss of two engines, loss of directional or vertical control, complete electrical failure at weather minimums, and other situations that may not be in the book.
Again, I'm happy the crew lived to tell the tale. Whatever they did, it turned out to be the right thing.
