Wouldn't there be some occasions when vectors to final would remove the
need for the course reversal that would be required by a clearance to
OTMEE?



Yup, that one would. There is something special about vectoring to final on
GPS approaches, though. Unlike localizers or VOR radials, a GPS FAC has a
definite "end". The course does not extend beyond what's charted so there's
nothing to intercept.


According to your handlers in ATO that set policy, vectors to final are
not "legal" unless the FAC is on the video map.
