The people loading the ac would have known the performance conditions at DXB for the landing, and it would have been weight limited accordingly to meet performance.

As far as windshear, I have seen quite a few GA due to WS at this airport, sometimes 4 and 5 ac in a row. One can hardly imagine wheels up at this altitude, more likely stalled with a good tailwind/headwind change
