I suppose it depends on the culture of customer service at Airbus?
You might have thought this would be a great opportunity with a new customer with what is very clearly both a marginal and discretionary purchase.
What is the purpose of ACH if it isn’t to assist with the spec?? Initially one job is to hold the hand through the spec and they essentially screwed the pooch….
The only alternative is the customer demanded / stamped feet with Airbus then knowingly building aircraft that were not able to be usefully flown. Aside from the obvious safety point - if there was no paperwork to insist on the transaction completing it suggests Airbus were as oblivious. Clownery either way?
