unfortunately, some don't .. and others think black and white rather than operationally
So true.
One airline I worked for mentioned...OEI, climb straight ahead to 1500 agl...no problem.
When I mentioned that this would be a rather bad idea at some airports, I received, in return, that deer-in-the-headlights look from the respective fleet manager.

He learned quickly...better be prepared with obstacle data, otherwise you can become dead meat in a hurry.
