Let me repeat my question: Do you believe this accident would have happenned had the navigation aids been functioning normally?
Your logic is just so incredibly flawed. You're connecting a separate outcome with an indirect relationship and falling into the classic correlation is not causation trap while doing it.
Pretend the plane and airport lost all automation. That's the point of continually having pilots fly visuals without automation! To keep their skills up in real world situations when it's safe to do so. The fact that lack of all automation resulted in a crash here is because of automation dependency and lack of raw data skills not because it's required for a safe landing!
