I gather the 2016 EK 777-300 crash-land at DXB also had a ''long land'' call out feature enabled and IIRC was heard on the CVR. Still did not save the plane.
The feature did it's job to trigger a balked landing which the crew tried to execute without thrust and crashed .So not a fault of ROPS. Or rather had ROPs not been installed the crew would've landed with an innocuous overrun without destruction of the aircraft.
