assuming windshear
"no a/c are 'certified' for landing in severe windshear!" is a point finally emphasised.
Given the likelihood of windshear plus a reported temp of 49C, the landing attempt could have been re-assessed quite a while before touchdown. An unstable approach, initially lower than normal power and high ROD to maintain the glide path might have been additional red flags for this approach.
Certified 2 engine or single engine missed approach capability may not be actually relevant. I would be more interested in reported landing conditions that could be beyond the capacity to safely land. Since windshear can exist for relatively short periods, it is up to that actual crew to be completely in the loop, including a direct report from the previous landed or missed approach aircraft when there is doubt.
There is no shame in an early missed approach, holding, or diversion, even when previous and later aircraft land without incident.
