EFATO is very unforgiving of inaction/ delayed action in a piston twin.

If the prop is left windmilling for just a few seconds after engine failure after lift off (in other words the pilot is slow to feather it), then due to excessive drag a crash is almost inevitable. Depending on altitude at time of engine failure there may be no time to go through an unnecessarily lengthy identification process before feathering it
