Unless the Airport Authority specifically ban landing with a tailwind on RW10, it was not the function in these particular circumstances for ATC to ‘interfere’ in the way you describe.

ATC could not foresee that the landing would be deep. They might well have expected a touchdown at the start of the touchdown zone given the prevailing circumstances.

So in a nutshell, NO.
