Yeah, I get that. I've been flying 737's for about a decade now and I'm familiar with Boeing automation. Not going to speculate on the MCP or checklists until the report comes out. My point was just that regardless of automation issues, rotating at ~216 knots in even a worst case scenario with a fully loaded 773 at a high density altitude (which this wasn't) is objectively bizarre. Vr was probably around 155 so what possessed them to keep it on the ground for that long is a head scratcher considering they'd hit that 12-lane highway at the north end of 30R eventually regardless of the automation.
