And the other issue is why would you want to shoot an approach to a below minimums airport.

Just because the ATIS or METAR is reporting below minimums doesn't mean it is. Those reports can be up to an hour old so I don't really see the problem shooting an approach if it is below minimums as long as you are prepared to go missed especially if the weather is borderline.
