Companies should be able to include many of the terms you referred e.g. lower derate in TO, higher brakes gear wearing, etc.
Avoiding fire brigade for a refuelling with pax on board could compensate the fuel penalty to carry on unadvantageus extra fuel as like as deicing requirement in some destination environment could revert a positive tankering into a loss.
As BOAC told "It is a fairly inexact science".
