Airbus! I sometimes wonder where their designers graduated. This is basic stuff and they can't get it right.
In fairness, it appears that just after the incident, the issue was addressed and fixed. And, only presses of a certain duration, rather than just short presses, were able to trigger the problem.
So probably, the long press is still taught as a matter or oral tradition and best practice.
I personally found more disturbing that after the TAO 10% of flying A320 were found with an inoperative emergency braking system.
