Gero you have no idea what you are talking about.

As someone who flys to FNC regularly on the same type I can say the last 100 ft can be unpredictable in strong winds, the pilot starts a pitch up at about 2 seconds after the initial severe increase in ROD and flys a text book bulked landing. Conf 3 and VLS plus 10 does not protect against wind shear it simply improves go around performance in the event of a go around. I suspect the approach and conditions were pretty challenging and things don’t always go to plan, typically pilots flying to FNC are at the top of their game and extremely well trained and in current flying practice. I see no difference here.
