Wait, you understand this point and still think it can't take off? Holy hell.

OK I will spell it out.
Wheels moving in X with tangential velocity V.
Runway moving in X with -V.
Plane is stationary to observor (the atmosphere).
Engines apply force in +X which translates to increased wheel speed.
Plane is moving in X with velocity (V + Vfromengine)
Runway speeds up to move in X with velocity
-(V + Vfromengine)
Plane is still stationary to observor(the atmosphere).
Plane does not take off.

The bold part is incorrect.
