Stall warning logic

I don't understand the stall warning logic of the A330. If you have an indicated airspeed of less than 60kts, and there is no weight on wheels (i.e. the airplane knows it's airborne), aren't you stalled?

Why the arbitrary cutoff of the aural stall warning at 60kts? I understand the AOA won't be reliable at that speed, but who cares, if you're airborne at less than 60kts IAS in an A330, you're stalled.
