Often we keep locked onto the ILS for passenger comfort even in good VMC!
If it is good VMC then there are a number of options
cancel IFR and request a visual join.
Ask for vectors to visual
Ask for a tighter intercept
Usually when flying IFR it's more about reducing track miles to touchdown and hence time and cost.

One caution on leaving IFR and an ILS is to be very sure that it is VMC to touchdown as many have been fooled into doing so only to run into scud cloud or unseen poor vis
