The non-similarity issue of Asiana againstthe A320 is that if those Airbus gentlemen had only pulled, the A/C would have saved everyone. As well as their "initiation" of the doomed trajectory. They flew the aircraft by actively selecting a mode and not reviewing what they'd done.

Both of the Boeing cases OTOH, the crews found themselves through no wrongs of their own in a LOW energy situation ABOVE G/S, close to the ground. Walked over a trap.
