A consideration is the increased risk if a missed approach is required.

The level of risk during an instrument approach is based on probabilities for different stages of the approach. The overall risk is predicated on the completion of the approach ie a landing.

A higher risk occurs during the missed approach. The level of probability used to determine a particular missed approach involves a higher risk than concluding the procedure with a landing.
