Thank you for this nice video.

I jumped on it because this is a hot subject for me.
Too often a crew is mislead into landing on the wrong runway, or on a parallel taxiway. Lufties at KTW on new RWY being build, AF at Casablanca, Seattle, Pisa, .... happens way too often by lack of appropriate marking/lighting/Notams, ...

But in the present (well a few years old though ;) ) I don't understand the title of your post.
It seems to point to an FC error and there is none.
SN did NOT land on a taxiway.
They landed on the RUNWAY.
It is marked as such, has a PAPI, has an Approach Lighting System.

Fortunately, the content of your video gives full credit to the SN crew.
Thanks.

H.A.
