Bouncy Landing
If you re-read my posting, you'll note that I specified VFR approaches, as instrument approaches are made using a different profile(s)and aids such as PAPIs and lead in lights.
If you play under IFR, you must accept the different risk profile that comes with the approach being undertaken.
Under VFR, one has more options - your choice PAPIs, mine steeper approaches - both perfectly legal - in the end "you pays your money and takes your choice!"

WIth regard to displaced threholds on licensed airfields, the TORA and LDA are the legal disctances, so usually the TORA includes the displaced threshold at the starting end, therefore the TORA is often longer than the LDA for a given runway.
