Surely the issue is more that they decided to make so many attempts to land local. There should be a max level of attempts.

There is a lot of pressure on pilots to land local. But 3 go-arounds happens, not often, but it does.
Perhaps that decision needs to be removed from the airline and there needs to be an independent decision maker there.
Pilots are ultimately responsible for the aircraft, that's pretty much set in stone but if ATC would tell them to divert they would unless there already was an emergency.
There is a max level, and it is three.
