I would disagree. Landing with the disc over the waiting pax is a completely unnecessary risk. Good pilots accept minimum risk possible throughout the flight envelope.
I would not take much imagination to turn what looks like a slick approach into a field of chopped mince given the slightest malfunction or control issue.
I'm my view a very poor example of airmanship. Pressure from the company or pax would be no different if he choose to land at a safe distance. It's should never be an excuse.
