Lots of BS as usual from the press ( and as a consequence here ) .

1) ATC will only interrupt the Take off an aircraft having started to move if there is a runway incursion, e.g. by a vehicle or an aircraft. ATC primary task is to ensure separation .
2) an RTO is not an incident.
3) after a high velocity RTO is is essential to check / eventually replace brakes or tyres. ., hence delays... nothing unusual...
I agree about the press and it wasn't worth my time to post while awaiting confirmed facts.

I accept your item #1 above. (the others are subsets based on "what if")

In the subject event the major question I have is who and why was the RTO called and at what speed?

any tower tapes to forestall more BS from the uninformed?

back to lurking
