I'm not weighing in on any particular side of this, just saying that it's fairly often not just 10-15 minutes at stake.
I was wondering if someone would bring this up, because it's a really good point.

I would be much more in favor of the rule if it were actually limited to actual takeoffs, not just to time spent sitting on the runway.
