I think the force feedback idea needs revisiting by Airbus...

Take the training environment, this is from here, under simulator assessment

In the first of these ‘unusual’ approaches, a manual approach was flown with autothrust, but the ‘trainee’ ceased to make sidestick inputs at 50 ft RA. The TRE(A) was unable to intervene in time and the aircraft struck the runway without a flare. In other ‘unusual’ approaches, the TRE(A) was again unable to intervene, or intervened too late, to prevent a hard landing.
For me, that summarises what has been said for years on the line about monitoring Airbus approaches...
