If you are ordered to go-around by the tower just before landing, aren't there situations where a GA might not be the best option?
Can't think of one...

Once flying, you have 3-dimensional maneuverability. When rolling down the runway which is already occupied by another airplane, you have few options.


Doubt it applies here, but a missed approach initiated inside the MAP may not clear terrain, thus hesitancy to do anything but land.
Not even CLOSE to a valid reason! Terrain clearance criteria are based on one engine inop, so there is never a reason (that I can think of) to even THINK like that when both engines are running! You already have flying speed at the approach end threshold, and are at or below max landing weight. The conditions are WAY better than for initial takeoff!
