If you have full scale deflection, you may not even be on the approach
anymore, but I am unaware of any regulatory requirment to initiate the
missed. If you see full deflection you should probably train some because
you are not competent.

I did not say that it is ALWAYS the right thing to do. Sometimes, yes.
Sometimes, no. If there is a requirement someplace, then that would seem to
trump my making the decison to recover the approach when I have decided
that that is a safe thing to do.

So yes, it DOES make a difference

It is common wisdom, and often common sense, that if a full deflection
of a CDI (or GS) is experienced, a missed approach is to be flown. But a
lot of people seem to think that it is REQUIRED. I have had a CFII tell
me it is required. But I can not find anything in FAR or AIM that states
such a requirement.

Again, in a lot of cases I can understand why to do it. But I can also
imagine others where it might make just as much sense to recover the
approach and not go missed.

Can anyone point me at a rule that requires a missed?

If you agree it's the proper thing to do, does it matter if it's required
or not?
