Yeah I agree, there is no real way of knowing what winds you are going to get in that last few hundred feet and they could be pretty extreme changes. Also, you don't know if the runway is going to be contaminated with standing water, so if you get some nasty shear at low level and try to land it on standing water....bad news, if you get same and go around you could end up climbing out into more bad news. It's leaving no good alternative if things don't go your way.
