Idle Curiosity - B777 TOGA Switches

I guess it's not too hard to figure what prompted this question...

I've been reading that (in at least some) Boeing 777s the TOGA switches are inhibited by weight-on-wheels. Which leads me to wonder: why?

Can anyone explain to a very low-hours GA pilot what the benefit of disabling the switches once the aircraft has made contact with the ground is?

Thanks.
