Takeoff power would be set on all 4 engines well before that.

My Company manuals note that asymmetric thrust on takeoff may be necessary in some situations. It would only be those situations where the combination of wind and slippery runway surface kept you from maintaining runway alignment by nosewheel steering alone. Yes, I have encountered those conditions.

You're kind of missing the bigger point here. Some questions of a general nature were asked, where no specific operation or aircraft was stated. You're giving answers which are specific to your aircraft and operation as if they were absolutes. They're not.
