For operators, it will depend on company policy in respect of CRM, stabilised approaches, fuel management, suitable weather conditions etc. It is not good to point at the ground in a dirty dive burning fuel in a less than ideal configuration when using all your available whizzy kit you can manage an optimised fuel saving approach from top of descent. From a CRM point of view, once you depart from an instrument approach you can never be totally certain what the pilot flying is going to do, or where they are going, or which airfield they have seen. During recent pilot/ATC workshops in the UK, the preferred option seemed to for ATC to start out offering the most accurate possible instrument approach, and it should be up to the operator to request a visual if they ant one.
