Irrelevant.
I could of course be wrong, but my guess is the aircraft was way beyond V1. Ergo, they are going to get airborne. Having accelerated past V1, there is speed in hand to quickly convert to height if needed, following an engine failure. Not standard, or clever, sure, but dangerous? I don't think so. Oh and to add, we only get a picture from a window, and don't know any facts.
Standing by to be shot down. Many years in retirement.
