There’s another issue that plagues ATC generally that hasn’t been brought up yet. That’s the fact that most ATC aren’t licensed pilots and therefore have only a vague understanding of what’s involved in flying a plane. That’s like an orchestra conductor who doesn’t know how to play an instrument or an umpire who doesn’t know how to play baseball.
This ATC clearly doesn’t understand what a short approach is or how pilots are trained to land their planes.
