TOGA are Take Off Go Around buttons not Touch and Go.
The logic needs to stop somewhere.
You want Take Off thrust on the ramp when TOGA is pushed?
After specified amount of time it goes into ground mode.
3 sec or 5 or whatever it is.
They're a system convenience not a "safe me" switch when you've cocked it up.
A lot of things went wrong and all the holes in the cheese lined up and the auto throttle systems had TOGA to do with it.
( pun intended)
