Agreed.

I think the answer is simple.

Aren't Part 97 instrument approach procedures required fy FARs? In
which case, all minimum altitudes depicted on approach plates must be
obeyed. 91.175 allows descent below MDA or dh when certain
paramenters are met. But not descent below other minimum altitudes on
the app procedure

No, you cannot, unless you first...
- cancel IFR, or
- get a visual approach clearance, or
- get a contact approach clearance

You might get away with it, though, if you just call in to ATC, "runway
in sight" before descending.
