Wouldn't be hard for the OEM to install an interlock and relay the prevents the motors being energized until both engines see shutdown and the thrust levers at idle.
Hybrid car electric motors operate in a different way which doesn't involve the issue of having a connected wheel spinup from 0 to 250 km/h in 0.4 seconds upon impacting a concrete surface at up to 150 metres per second vertically, so it is improbable that they could ever venture into this area.
Interlocks and relays can and do fail. So I imagine there would be a lot of engineering development work and risk matrix work required before it became practical. Is it worth the expense? I don't know. Airlines have refused to wear the development and ongoing maintenance cost for things far less complicated than that!
