To me, "approaching to land" means a plane on final. Otherwise you're
approaching to get into the pattern, not to land.


I don't tend to make any turns on final (of course there are always those who
call the "left final" position report after turning from "left base" but I've never
understood what they were doing.

Perhaps letting the jerk on "right final" know that they're in violation
of the traffic pattern?

Been there, seen that.

I suspect that the "left final" people come from right-traffic
airports and are mostly trying to convince themselves that what they
are doing is correct.

And yes, afraid that someone else might be on the familiar right
final.

Now, suppose you are flying the ILS, doing the usual S-turns about the
localizer. You are approaching to land. Do you make all your turns to the
left?
