Well, there's the textbook, and then there's the real world.
textbook: When the rear end lets go like that under power, the action that will cause a highside is if the rear wheel suddenly regains traction on the road, and violently flips the bike, and the rider. Since it lost traction while it was spinning, keeping it spinning at roughly the same rate gives the rider a chance to try and apply some type of inputs (steering, body weight, whatever), to aim the bike closer to straight before the rear wheel regains that traction. So the worst thing you could do would be to stomp on the rear brake, and the second worst thing you can do would be do immediately shut the throttle off. Both of those actions could cause the rear wheel speed to come down, and potentially allow it to regain that traction to cause the highside.
real world: It happens so damn fast that it's unlikely any normal rider (read: not making their living racing motorcycles) does anything soon enough to make a difference once this happens, and it's sheer blind luck whether one is able to recover it once it steps out that far, like this video dude was able to show.
