Given this was an experienced, well-trained crew,
familiar with the airport and operating top-notch
equipment, I think it's likely there is a missing
piece in the puzzle, which we will learn from the
factual investigation. Your summary, damning report
that the crew "cannot read" a LOC approach chart is
unsubstantiated, and I believe unhelpful.

And I believe that your assertion that it was a "well
trained crew operating top-notch equipment" is nothing
more than speculation.
I tried corporate jet flying for one month after my
retirement from PanAm. I could write a book about the
southern good-ole-boy corporate flying culture.
One example...there was not a check-list in either the
Sabreliner or Diamond, and no-one cared.
My parting words...."You assholes aren't going to kill
me".
