We use a set of hadronic equations of state derived from covariant density functional theory to study the impact of their high-density behavior on the properties of rapidly rotating $Δ$-resonance-admixed hyperonic compact stars. In particular, we explore systematically the effects of variations of the bulk energy isoscalar skewness, $Q_{\mathrm{sat}}$, and the symmetry energy slope, $L_{\mathrm{sym}}$, on the masses of rapidly rotating compact stars. With models for equation of state satisfying all the modern astrophysical constraints, excessively large gravitational masses of around $2.5 \, M_{\odot}$ are only obtained under three conditions: (a) strongly attractive $Δ$-resonance potential in nuclear matter, (b) maximally fast (Keplerian) rotation, and (c) parameter ranges $Q_{\mathrm{sat}}\gtrsim500$ MeV and $L_{\mathrm{sym}}\lesssim50$ MeV. These values of $Q_{\mathrm{sat}}$ and $L_{\mathrm{sym}}$ have a rather small overlap with a large sample (total of about 260) parametrizations of covariant nucleonic density functionals. The extreme nature of requirements (a)-(c) reinforces the theoretical expectation that the secondary object involved in the GW190814 event is likely to be a low-mass black hole rather than a supramassive neutron star.
