Visual approaches are not non-precision approaches. They’re visual approaches.
Lufthansa wasn’t denied the ILS, they were put in a hold until separation could be created. The same thing happens every day at airports all over the world. The difference is the vast majority of pilots don’t whine about it on a congested frequency and expect to get priority.
And any pilot who is not comfortable performing a visual approach shouldn’t be at the controls of an airliner.
