This might be a difference between GA and airline philosophy, ending up 10 ft next to the runway (not 10 ft off centerline, 10 ft from runway edge!) would not be considered a successful or stable approach. This would be close to full scale deflection on the expanded localizer scale. Its also unnecessary in real life, I have flown old 19-seat turboprops, only CAT I approved, no autopilot or flight director, and I have never ended up next to the runway upon breaking out of the clouds.
