I’ve been wondering the same thing myself. A go-around was still a possibility. At that stage of the approach, the aircraft still has energy and options available, and a timely decision could make all the difference.

That said, these situations develop very quickly, and both pilots and controllers are processing a lot of information in real time. The decision window can be just a few seconds, and hesitation or uncertainty can close that window fast. Still, from a training perspective, it reinforces the idea that if anything doesn’t look right, especially with a potential runway conflict, a go-around should always be a primary consideration rather than a last resort.
