I've no idea!
Tried making sense of this and it appears it is possible to use it during landing.

Sure someone will know the reasons. Sure we have had a pilot or two on here in the past.

I'm certain you can use autopilot to land. AFAIK Japanese Airlines have come into a lot of controversy because of this - such as the Asiana crash in SFO. Apparently it's the pilot culture over there.

Another 73MAX down.
RIP to all those onboard. Will be interesting to see what transpires.
