As SLF I certainly appreciate the "meek" (and very sensible) pilots rather then those that risk our lives.

Many years ago , while on a Swissair DC-9 , the pilot attempted landing in Madrid during a tremendous TS (reportedly the worst in a decade) . Everyone else had diverted except us. Luckily we hit a tremendous updraft and sailed back into the blue!! I was happy the captain announced he had given up and we were going to join everyone else in Barcelona.

Upon landing I let him know that I didn't appreciate him risking our lives like that !! He had nothing to say. He knew it.
