Point taken, but in my airline you were trained and expected if required, to be able to handle the aircraft to the appropriate height and vis limits and in the max crosswind (FOs had 2/3 of the Capt X wind limit)
Also whoever was PF was able to call Stop and reject the takeoff. I believe some companies only allow the Capt that decision and he controls the thrust levers on all takeoffs.
Presumably because of not having the confidence in the training and competence of their pilots.
