I also found the ‘seizing’ of the recorders unnecessarily dramatic.
But to look at that and say the crew ‘cocked it up’ is to be as bad as the BFU.
Deeply incompetent, at best.
The aircraft ended up in an Undesirable Aircraft State - Mitigated by the crew by a go around. This is so far the only real "fact" we have.
ATC can definitely be a contributing factor, but it is very unlikely to be the root cause.
