The FMS wind is therefore of little value to the pilot when he makes his decision to land at top of descent, during descent and upon initiation of the final approach
Eh? I don't decide to land at TOPD, or for that matter on initiation of final approach.

If the FMS is showing a 15kt tailwind at 200ft, then you'd better have a good look at the windsock before you flare.
