It is quite possible to get a windshear warning, perhaps just a momentary one, at a point during the approach when a decision to continue is an option, say 1500-1000 ft above touchdown. In my experience, and I am a couple of years into retirement now, most operators have an SOP regime where a go-round is mandatory and in-flight monitoring systems are such that a zero tolerance policy is likely to be strictly observed. I suppose one could take the argument to the extreme of an island-holding destination where an aircraft would have no option other than to land despite continued windshear warnings !
