Autopilot/throttle setting

Latest info is that autopilot/throttles were engaged essentially until ground contact. Doesn't this imply that the autopilot data base was inadequqte or in error, or that the wrong mode was engaged by the pilots? Presumably pilots thought that the auto pilot was managing the descent path as it seems that they weren't. Just asking.
