You are welcome to share your theory- we are all ears. Perhaps you think mine was good enough?
I don't think you and I are going to find too much common ground on this based on what I've seen so far.
Sharing ideas about safety is fine. However, I don't see the point in sharing ideas about an event that didn't happen the way you assume.
Until we know what these pilots actually did, the decisions they made and what external factors contributed to the outcome, what is there to discuss? You said yourself that evidence is scarce and no one's taking your theories too seriously. So, what's the point?
You want to have a discourse about operating into airports where terrain is an issue or the value of stabilized approaches? Let's do it. That option is available anytime. We don't need to start rumors about a crash currently under investigation in order to discuss safety issues.
