Have a think about examples such as KLAX, where a miss prior to DA will often require you to DESCEND. Due to airspace aircraft cant be higher than 2000'. When all we practice involves hitting TOGA, this can make you stop and think a bit!
Well, yes, but well prior to DA. More like at, or prior to the FAF, where it should be a "go-around" with plenty of time to work it out with ATC.

Because of all the things that go wrong at LAX as many well-above DA go-arounds are ATC initiated as they are flight crew initiated.
