It landed without incident, so why go-around? Surely the idea of a go-around is when it is deemed that landing is not possible.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

The "idea of a go-around" is that standard approach criteria have not been met, or there is a significant possibility that a safe landing may be compromised. A go-around is a ROUTINE maneuver, not a 'last ditch' or 'emergency' maneuver because a "landing is not possible".

I am not addressing this landing specifically, because I cannot tell if those criteria were met. I am addressing your apparent perception of a go-around in general.
