I don’t know, the whole situation is pretty crazy.
Pure speculation but it seems this captain spent far more time in sim world than real world. In his sim world he’s used to letting people muck things up, using them as teachable debrief items after the sim. I’m sure he’s seen thousands of hard sim landings where nothing breaks.
