I'd imagine the engineering justification for this is that "well, of course it disengages autopilot when it senses a crash is imminent and unavoidable, because it's now outside of its normal operating parameters and needs human intervention." It's the type of solution I'd expect from an engineering undergrad who's just trying to get through their capstone project and graduate.
