You claim to be surprised that you didn’t crash after flying through a microburst but also say everyone flies through CBs on approach.

Where I am from we would not make an approach, and I’m never surprised that we didn’t crash.
Read again. We had no idea we had a microburst ahead of us. Nothing on the radar gave us a warning. No big red cells, and this was before PWS.
In the case of BOM runway 27, yes, everybody goes through that CB.
And there can be big variations between CBs.
