Not an expert, but it looked like the 73 came from the same taxi the 75 was planning to use.
Somebody mentioned FOD and hot gas... With cowl reversers only redirecting the FAN output, how much hot gas could there be. More a thing of clamshells maybe?
Bad judgement, maybe. Maybe under advisement to vacate runway ASAP.

In any case, as a "speck tater," certainly cool to watch on video. Prolly wouldn't want to be in the tube, though.
