Haven't heard that term but are you referring to RNAV like approaches where the MDA is replaced by a DA and you never level off at the "DA" but land or go missed as in an ILS?
If so, the whole purpose of those approaches is to make sure you don't have to do the dive & drive LOC approaches. Safer, quieter and easier to fly. In a nutshell you're converting a non-prec. approach to a prec. approach.
