If it is the case that one or other pilot is not capable of handling an approach and landing into an airfield, what are they doing sitting in the pilots seat! If you can't make the approach and landing yourself, how can you competently be pilot monitoring?
The choice of who handles and who monitors is a crew and ultimately captains decision. If the best crew member to handle is the FO because it gives the best SA to the Captain then the company are deliberately reducing safety margins by taking away that option.
