Good point - if you watch carrier launches, the planes actually fall a little as they go off the end of runway because they aren’t lifting yet. But presumably with a longer runway like you have at an airport, you could get to higher speed and truly liftoff.
But having also launched from a carrier myself, I wouldnt want that g force everytime I fly commercially.
