Pilotguy1222, if you read my prior comment, I'm NOT referring to the vertical profile that GETS you to DMYHL.

The point was regarding additional lateral & vertical FMS guidance provided after DMYHL; this should be provided to crew, and it is. If they don't want to use it, that's on them.

I agree with you, JFK ATC treat the 'VOR or GPS' approaches for 13 L/R as cloudbreak procedures, and will likely clear you down to 1,000ft with a low cloudbase. CDA to DMYHL isn't desired. Because ATC intent on this particular approach is to have aircraft below cloud before/at missed approach point.
