Wonder if they had approach lights,
Yes the pilot is blaming his self, rest assured. the flight cabin crew will blame them self. It was a joint effort.
The ILS was out of service and was on the ATIS. The pilot accepted the runway without an ILS and accepted a visual approach. That is ALL on the pilot.
The runway doesn't close in visual conditions simply because the ILS (More specifically in this case, the glideslope) is out of order. ILS is only 1 of many approaches that can be done into that airport.
