How Did V1 Get Into This?

In airlines that I am familiar with, once you hit V1 you go! ie You take off regardless of how much runway is left.
I don't know how V1 got into this. Of course you go if you hit V1. What I'm saying is that if you take off from an intersection, the runway you don't use is of no use. Try explaining to a court why you didn't use all of it..
