Yes I am well aware of that and if you wish to take that risk in deteriorating visibility that’s your choice but you will have a lot of difficulty explaining why you bent an aircraft and wound up on the front page of every newspaper in this country if you get unlucky.
The only time you are committed to the landing is when the thrust reversers are deployed. Even if low vis procedures are in force and the critical area is protected, at any time the ILS, rad alt or any other system could fail so you are always "at risk" of bending an aircraft if you don't follow the procedures.
