That is a gross oversimplification of a lot of factors that led to that accident, none more so than the culture at Emirates which is referred to in many areas as punitive. Was it mishandled? Yes. We’re there a lot of factors at play? Yes. They went around as the RAAS also activated - a go around irrespective of whether you think there was ‘plenty of runway left to safely stop.’
You could also read it that you should always elect to do go around WITH thrust…. They elected to do it without! Either way punitive safety culture, fatigue and over reliance on automation produces some unexplainable cockups.
