So you take-off in clean configuration mustafagander?
Maybe you rotate at 205 kts and blow your tires that are most likely rated to 195kts?

Even if you could theoretically derive that VMCA is below VS, you still can't fly below VS. As such VMCA only has a practical meaning at or above VS.
You can't fly straight with 1 engine inoperative and a max bank of 5 degrees below stallspeed.
