Being 20-25 feet high on a visual approach at 400 ft agl on a visual approach in flat country on a long runway is a much different situation than full blown IMC to mins on a short rwy in a mountainous area.
Would you call unstable approach on a visual approach if the crew was 10 feet high at 200 agl? That would be 3 white and red on the papi's.
