a nasty night and a wet shortish runway
The "nasty night" and "wet runway" (as a result of the nasty wx) is PRECISELY the reason an auto-coupled approach, followed by an autoland is made ...why they even have designations for them - CAT iii, CAT iiiA, etc.
I am obviously flogging a dead horse here
Agreed, it seems you don't understand the systems, and the conditions under which they're utilised by crews.

Would you have been more satisfied had the a/c slid off the end of the runway?

The result of the go-around was the BEST possible....no damage, injuries or deaths - and NO media coverage (apparently in spite of YOUR best attempts, J4!!)
