Completely agree with both of you.
If you dont trust your ability to land within the generous allowances of transport category airplane performance calculations. With the option to abort the landing at any time you think you won't stop within the available distance.
Why would you trust your ability to judge your approach within a few feet of the airport perimeter?
Everyone can mess up an approach myself included, but I dont understand why commercial pilots would intentionally undershoot the standard approach path.
