It’s all about the lowest common denominator. Take the worst pilot you have in your airline, face them with an extremely challenging situation and the outcome still has to be safe flight.
At the end of the day, the SOP has to cater for us in the bottom spectrum when it comes to ability. An above average pilot surely has the extra capacity to handle an extra callout or two, or perhaps even an acronym?

It doesn’t matter one bit what is written in the Boeing or Airbus FCOM. The FCOM/OM approved by your regulator will tell you how them and your airline expect you to operate. Any decent airline will run an SMS-fed SOP, and if the data suggests a modification of SOP is required to increase safety, then I don’t see how any of us can disagree on that.
