Blind Pew, you obviously have an axe to grind. Whatever your motives are it’s not very edifying and suggests bitterness and a lack of factual knowledge.
For your your education the monitored approach was developed to combat the three or so seconds it takes the human brain to switch cognitive tasks, in this case the transition from instrument flying to visual flying at CAT 1 (or in past times CAT 2) minima. The science showed (shows) that a pilot already processing visual references as soon as they became available made (makes) a better job of the final approach, flare and landing. Some types / companies still legitimately perform manual landings off a CAT 2 approach, BA doesn’t.
FWIW as a recent product of the above training department it is top notch from the top down.
I’d suggest this event was a surprise for everybody involved, was well handled (others may have chosen to do it differently and that may well have resulted in just as good an outcome), and you can bet the manufacturer is working on it as a matter of urgency.
