I think you have identified one reason why it is important that the crew decide who is PF and who is PM... Your ability to assess the approach and decide if it should be discontinued is based on your ability to fly it. Your cockpit and aeroplane is safer as a result

If the company makes it a captain only airport, only the captain can be PF, no discussion. However the company I flew for believed in equal qualifications for FO and PIC, so both would be able to be PF. This applied to all category C airports we flew into (and we flew into a lot of dodgy places including unpaved strips in central Africa for UN evacuation flights, and Afghanistan/Kazachstan aso).
