Does ATC care about the “Approach ban”

Hello .
For the purposes of clarifying the concept to someone reading this for the first time , “ approach ban “ is the ban of continuing an approach when an aircraft is passing 1000 ft AGL on approach , and the reported VIS/ RVR is less than the minimums of the procedure . If the reported RVR/ VIS is less than the minimum, then the crew should execute a missed approach
Something tells me that ATC ought not to care since different aircraft categories will have different minima for the same procedure . Also it is allowed to use converted meteorological visibity ( CMV ) , and ATC should not bother whether and which conversion factor has been used .
Can an ATC confirm this ?
