Aside from the FMGS inputs they got wrong that day, I think a vigilant captain might have seen the end of runway markers coming up and just applied TOGA before rotation. That might, and I emphasise might, have avoided the tailstrike.
They had applied TOGA significantly BEFORE rotation.

You might try reading the report before making (uninformed) comments on it.
