These aren't the emergency cutoffs, these are the ones they operate every takeoff and landing. Aorbus forces you to throttle all the way down before cutting them off, which might be enough to wake your brain up to the fact you are running the wrong checklist, but if you are in that state of erroneous automatic action there isn't a lot you can do from an interface design standpoint. The right answer is to run the checklist as a checklist each time very intentionally, but people, even pilots, aren't good at that. There are very few cases where shutting off the engines at that altitude on take off make sense, barely any, so you could prevent it entirely, but then when it actually is the right move it will ne your fault for preventing it.
