LEM:
I do see your points, but how and when exactly do you decide the FO is going to let it drop?
There sure are a lot of different landing techniques out there, from initial breaks to last minute firm rotations. I'd personally rather have you take control and talk to me later about why you felt it necessary than regularly gently "autorotating". Latter does confuse a lot if one is not prepared for it. Maybe you should trust your right-seaters a bit more? Because, yeah, they also do like to make soft landings...

As to the Airbus: You sure can`t feel the other CM intervening with the sidesticks, but dual input is certainly displayed and announced immediately!
