Was just thinking that coming out of Norfolk yesterday.
As for Lear Jets, it's still situational. With less than 5000' runways in 24s, 25s and 35s, there's no way you'd abort after 80 knots - V1 is only a second or two away at 110-120 knots. Over 5000' the thing can get airborne and land in that distance but your decision has to be instant because of how quickly you accelerate - even on a single engine. Again, a good take-off briefing for the situation would cover it well.
