When an aircraft simply pulls the throttles back post V1, only to taxi back to a hangar, find a mechanic...it's not even an incident, never makes the NTSB reporter, much less an FAA call
That's most odd, because the FAA say,
B. Occurrence (PTRS Code 1725, 3720, 5720). An occurrence is defined as an event that is not readily discernible as an incident. Events, such as a low speed abort or a turnback are considered occurrences and must be investigated to determine the impact on safety of operations.
C. Correlation Between an Occurrence and an Incident. Not all events that are brought to the attention of AFS have an obvious impact on the safety of operations, nor are they readily identifiable as an incident. Until an event can be identified as an incident, it should be regarded as an occurrence. The advantage of labeling an event as an occurrence is that it allows for an investigation of the facts for an accurate identification of the event without generating unnecessary reports.

NOTE: Safety improvement recommendations may result from either incident or occurrence investigations.
And that's aborting prior to V1. Must be really professional operators that you deal with.
