I would assume that because a panel such as the G1000 is a self contained avionics kit, not just a GPS, it has the ability to make an accurate approach due to the information that it is able to generate... information that is displayed on the PFD/MFD. Handhelds, I guess, just don't have the same features within to be able to be offered as an alternative that is just as accurate.
