The show carries on and passengers get safely to their destination, until they don’t.
I don’t think anyone could fault you if you tootled off to your alternate.
I certainly wouldn’t have been landing on 16L with that wind/rain/ notam/flap combination.
Boeing just issues recommendations. Not binding unless the operator adopts the recommendation. If we were to divert at the first mention of windshear it would be overkill. Severe windshear.. definitely avoid.
