You don't really think it's as easy as that do you?
No, I don't think it's easy. Nor do I expect that designing an aircraft to land itself is easy - but that was done 40 years ago and is considered normal now.

It's just that if the thrust/pitch couple, that has been mentioned dozens of times on here, is an expected result of the application of full or nearly full thrust, it is not unreasonable to expect that a modern aircraft control system might take it into account.

I'm not suggesting that TOGA was used here - just a question regarding the trim issue.
