You are reading that into it. The FAA cannot suggest that you operate
contrary to an ATC clearance. Your ATC clearance in this hypothetical
includes the missed approach procedure, not the ODP.

The language is FAA "CYA" to alert you that they don't protect below
MDA/DA or inside the MAP.

Take a look South Lake Tahoe, KTVL, for a high MDA and a very early MAP.
As you descend beyond the MAP you are going into an obstacle coffin
corner. And, there is no ODP for the approach runway.

AIM 5-4-21(g)
"Missed approach obstacle clearance is predicated on beginning the
missed approach procedure at the MAP from MDA or DA and then climbing
200 feet/NM or greater. Initiating a go-around after passing the
published MAP may result in total loss of obstacle clearance. To
compensate for the possibility of reduced obstacle clearance during a
go-around, a pilot should apply procedures used in takeoff planning.
Pilots should refer to airport obstacle and departure data prior to
initiating an instrument approach procedure."
