The time it takes to do that assessment could make a huge difference for protecting human lives, so better to err on the side of caution. When a big earthquake like that happens, you just kind of have to assume a possible worst case scenario until you can prove otherwise.
As a side note, it kind of breaks my brain that tsunami waves can travel at the same rate as a commercial airliner.
