It's a relatively simple manouver not an emergency.
The Fly Dubai B737 crew that hit the deck at Rostov would disagree with you.
An IMC/night go-around in any jet transport requires careful instrument flying; especially if significant pitch occurs up due under-slung engines. While an automatic pilot go-around still requires careful monitoring of flight instruments, a manual go-around can be a handful and requires fast thinking and fast scanning. There are some pilots so wedded to total automation, that to have to fall back on a manual go-around becomes quite a frightening prospect to them
