I see no logic behind the logic as described on page 20 in report #3 :
Possibly belt and braces - WOW switches not sufficiently reliable on their own (not a great history of reliability, and they regularly take a beating in use).

There may be more behind it than just SW as well. Active protections have consequences requiring greater data certainty than mere warnings. SW on taxiway is one thing, alpha-floor on taxiway likely to end less well...

For what it's worth, I think we may see this logic changed - if it's in software and is an easy update. If it's hardware and needs 3xADIRU replaced I think it's somewhat less likely....
