Saying that the aircraft "thinks for itself"
is the conspiracy theory.
It doesn't.
Let's looks at some stuff in the FCOM: 3 seconds after main gear touchdown the control configuration in Normal Law blends into ground mode, which is a direct stick-to-surface relation. (Flare mode is standard roll-rate demand.)
So, if anything, during the period in which the Spiegel says "the computer was in command", the pilots were actually in more direct control than before, directly commanding aileron/roll spoiler surface deflection.
I have also looked through the FDR graphs from the prelim report (it is very well hidden on the BFU website, in one of the bulletins: not even its search function turns it up, but google is your friend) and there are only two transient transitions to ground mode, during which aileron deflection does not reduce.
