Not that physical reality has ever gotten in the way of low effort internet comments but the driver isn't wrong, you can avoid an obstacle in much less forward distance by turning than braking.

There were two seconds between the alert and the crash. I'm not sure why the driver didn't at least get the car out of the barrier lane, perhaps there was other traffic (though the brake pedal percentages don't seem to indicate they committed to braking, odd, but I wasn't there so IDK). Obviously paying attention beforehand would have been the better move from the get go.
