Why does this forum not have a “like” button?
That’s really all there is to it folks. Especially if you’re based in Europe, you’re not going anywhere in the US where you’ll get anything other than a heading and altitude to fly.
You won’t ever be flying the published missed approach anyway, so no need to overthink it.

I’ve been given the published miss a number of times in VMC after being cleared for a visual; and now (3/24) ATC are issuing ‘Cleared for Approach’ instead of defining a specific approach ….

Would you please tell us (or at least me) again. I scanned back through some of your earlier posts but I seem to have missed the authoritative answer.
Since I fly near KSDL quite often, and do my best to stay out of the way of all the biz jets, I'd like to know what they will do on a missed visual to 21.

therein lies:- just because you ‘won’t ever be flying it’ does not mean you won’t have to make a defensible decision if something goes wrong. I agree it’s very poorly defined right now; as are a few other procedures.

Regarding "cleared for approach" phraseology, section 4-8-1 of the 7110.65 has this to say:
CLEARED APPROACH.
(To authorize a pilot to execute his/her choice of instrument approach)
