I found the timeline of events from the flight data recorder to be fairly suggestive of a likely conclusion.

Though that's as a lay-person; I am not a pilot but would love to hear if the seemingly obvious issue is the likely root cause.

This one is blindingly obvious. Appalling airmanship, just like it reads.

Touching down 2/3rds of mile down the runway at around 25 knots over Vref. That was never going to go well.

Well yeah the report is not a bunch of nothing also. NTSB usually takes 12+ months to complete their investigation so they release a preliminary report within a month of the incident usually to share relevant factual information. But the investigation remains ongoing so they have the time to check all angles and come up with final conclusions.
