because you may have to go missed on the approach.

From a regulatory point of view - irrelevant. The Design Standards mandate the WAT limits regardless of whether or not the aircraft experiences an engine failure on the day.

Equally, the WAT limits are not interested in terrain - the operator/pilot have to make sure that gross weights are constrained to an extent sufficient to provide adequate climb capability on the day.
