When you hear “minimums” on an ILS and don’t see anything, there’s no ambiguity. You go missed. Not the case on a non-precision. The airplane is not always going to be where it needs to be as with an ILS. There are many variables that preclude that. Apples to oranges in my opinion as to how they are flown. On a canpa approach, the plane will descend to minimums at a geographic location in some cases at the runway or miles prior to it.
