de facto:

Flying in a different manner that the manufacturer recommends all the time for some dodgy reason not to scare your pax,and you call that a reason of professionalism?get out of here
All the time? What the manufacturer recommends?

The issue for the OP was a go-around well above DA/MDA. That certainly does not constitute "all the time" and may very well occur less frequently than a missed approach at, or near, DA/MDA.

A go-around just inside the FAF and perhaps above the terminal's minimum vectoring altitude might very well result in an ATC instruction to level off. It is simply quite different than being down "in the weeds" for a number of reasons.

The manufacturer's recommendation is likely predicated on the circumstances of being at minimums when initiating a missed approach procedure.

Professionalism requires both skills and judgment that sometimes must be discerning.

Maybe the GA button is mislabeled. Perhaps there should be a MA button and a GA button. That would keep it all the realm of a video game.
