Very true. And the reason is we all know that diverting right a minimum div. fuel to the best fuel single runway alternate in the middle of nowhere and getting there with 30 min fuel is a bad idea, and we'd rather wait at our 3 runways with CAT III ILS destination, and maybe land with 1 hour fuel in the tanks. Funny thing is that, in this scenario, I am aware that a few operators require the submission of an "ASR" for committing.
