Say you have 2000 flights / day carrying 800kg extra for that go around that’s not actually flown. 2 hours average flight time x 3-4% of extra weight carried in extra fuel burn per hour. That’s $85k. Per day. Say “only” 25% of the flights carry this extra fuel. $7.5m per year. There’s the “problem”.
