We all would.I'd like to see the ability to load approaches instead of having to enter each individual waypoint.
Not allowing the automatic loading of approaches on a VFR-only unit is a convention that appeared as early as the Garmin handhelds series. I'm guessing there was some liability concern with making it too easy for pilots to use them for unapproved purposes in a situation where stats say most instrument accidents happen. It may simply be that FF (and the others; AFAIK none of the iPad apps allow this) is concerned about bucking what has sort of become standard industry practice in this respect.
