I do try not to judge, and I swallowed most of the early thoughts. With such little info we can absolutly assume not seeing the complete picture. And certainly not to blame anybody (Did one 3rd world remark to be ironic and provocating, got me reset to a newbie status. Here we rather (ironic on) see an UA obedience culture and steep command gradient ATC to flight deck /irony off)

On the other hand I stay with the fact there was an error 1 by ATC, an error 2 by crew which now seems more important and an error 3 appearing less mystic now.

The fact that you used sweepover now changed to step over when I’ve always heard side step used, is ironic when compared to your error 1.
My error 1. Still I wanna write sweep, and swing doesn't come easy, it's so crazy.
