I can’t fathom any other reason for them not stopping safely at low speed.
A normal acceleration to Vr plus a few seconds between that and aborting when they realized that plane would not rotate would put the plane very close to the end of the runway, perhaps more or less about where the skid marks start? Again, not saying that I believe this happened. It is just an alternate possible scenario. One that happened in this type of plane not so many years ago also with everybody surviving the high-speed overrun. And in this case TOPMS would have nothing to do with it.
