This is drilled into every pilot. Besides, on a visual approach with clear weather, there is absolutely no excuse not to do a go-around if your glideslope is too shallow.
Part of the problem is Airbus aircraft. Similar to how if you write a lot of Python, you slowly forget all of the baggage of C, if you fly with Airbus and the FDC on most of the time, you'll get more used to not having to do more manual work. The sidestick spoils you. Even though the triple-seven is fly-by-wire, there's still a lot less hand-holding in it than the Airbus craft. Same goes for the 787, even though it's a brand-new airplane.
