Completely agree. Even at CDG the French have introduced such landing clearances, and it works well. I am frequently at LHR, CDG and several US airports, and I much prefer this system to the very late landing clearances at LHR (even below 200').
I guess itīs a British thing, like not being able to say "cleared ILS" or
issue RNAV arrivals and departures..., and the strangest of all: "deconfliction service" eh??? what???
