"I have the airplane" or "my airplane" is an established practice, but over and above that, the stick/yoke/rudder pedals all actually give you feedback when the other guy is also handling them. That feedback gives the fliers another level of protection.

Agreed, but also given they initially thought the aircraft itself was deviating from a stable approach (or at least the ATC transcription appears to suggest that?), perhaps the pilots may have thought the feedback was due to autopilot and not the person sitting next to them.
