Boeing aircraft have "Master Caution Inhibit" activated just above 80 knots. (I cannot recall the exact figure, somewhere in the 83-87 Kt range).

Energy management for a potential RTO is, of course, the major issue. As a secondary, but important issue, the 80 Kt call is the 'last chance' to observe a Caution which may develop further into a larger problem.
