Come on. Blaming a company policy for that accident is a bit ridiculous. What if ATC told them to go around or the company policy for stable approaches wasn't met. Are you going to blame those things for the same type of accident? Any go around shouldn't be inherently dangerous, it's a routine maneuver.
They didn't fly the airplane. The reason for the go around (whether you think it's valid or not) has no bearing on the outcome. That's all on the crew.
