A disappointing report!?? It’s more an appalling example of an investigation without consideration of human performance.
There is little or no safety value, lessons to be learnt, improvements, etc. For all of the limited field efforts of the investigators they might as well have remained in their offices and still have been able to blame the human.
And if they need to quote others’ views and statistics on approach stability, GA, or human factors, then perhaps a wider view was warranted:-
Portal:Go-Around Safety - SKYbrary Aviation Safety
http://www.skybrary.aero/bookshelf/books/2325.pdf
Toolkit:Stabilised Approach Awareness Toolkit for ATC - SKYbrary Aviation Safety
PortalGHFA - SKYbrary Aviation Safety

This report might even reflect weaknesses in the overall investigation and reporting process, its management, vetting and approval; perhaps not particularly good value for the US tax payer.
