I truly can't imagine Raptor could spin up fast enough to function as an abort system of any kind. I think we can all agree there's some added complexity and risk in HAVING an abort system. I think Starship is hoping to be reliable enough to forgo an abort system.

Raptor turbines can spin up extremely fast. We take it easy on the test stand, but that’s not indicative of capability.
