Taking into consideration that the final part of this approach is requred visual and therefore under full and sole responsibility of the crew, what are we wasting energy on the initial RNAV part of the approach?
The ac did not complete the FMS portion of the procedure. They continued from SAMUL, missing the vector to F101D, which begins the visual portion of the procedure.

Yes, you are correct, albeit, once cleared for the procedure, arent they are responsible for the entire approach from ARCHI?

I think the flavor of the SAFO regarding the incident sums up very well where the responsibility will fall.
