My knowledge is mainly from listening to ATC communications, but it seems that many pilots accept the challenge of a "short approach" and make a nice landing. My estimate is that ATC offers several (two dozen?) a day and Turkish was the first one to go seriously wrong. (If the short approach does not stabilize quickly enough, go around...) I expect that the DSB will spend a few paragraphs on the practice in its report.
SFLY, I am ambiguous on the ATC role, because the acceptance of the short approach is a decision of the captain and I know that Amsterdam Approach is not pushing it. OTOH, ATC offers an approach that requires more skill to execute correctly than the standard instrument approach.
To all that missed the <irony> tags around my checklist remark: We'll know more when the final report is published, with a CVR transcript. Until then, we can only guess. I feel that some "rushing" played a role in the accident, but that is just speculation.
