That’s another option. The alert logic uses flight phases, and unfortunately “landing roll” is only reached when all landing gear is on ground. Just the main landing gear on ground is still considered “final approach”. However, it is possible to change the logic as you suggest, just a bit more work.

Fair comment. I am dealing with Airbus engineers, but instead of presenting a problem, I try to be a little proactive and have some ideas.
