JSI is a very “interesting” airport to land at. It’s stretching the limits of what some aircraft are capable of.

I’m not going to criticise the Wizz crew in this instance, I wasn’t flying it. And I know the majority of Wizz pilots are very capable and well
trained individuals.

What I will criticise are “arm chair pilots” who haven’t flown these aircraft in to this airport and feel it’s right to criticise the crew for what appears to be a low approach.
You forgot Scenario 4. Pilot ignores PAPI's and deliberately descends below profile. Unexpected downdraft on short final results in main gear passing through Armco barrier.
