An interesting question; perhaps an alternative view might help.
For landing, if the wind adjustment is considered as representing the likely spread of touchdown points (distribution), then the on-ground distance in a range of winds would be similar; further safety margins (factors) are applied according to regulation / advise.
For an RTO this is not quite the same, the distance variable with wind might be most noticeable in un braked period from failure, recognition, until retarding action. Thereafter the wind effect on braked distance might be similar to landing, not being very significant.
The main difference is that for an RTO there are few if any additional margins added
