Reported ceiling at 100' AGL. My limited understanding of VOR type
approaches is that the MDA is in the order of 400-500' AGL.

In this case, it's 498'.

Why even attempt the approach or at least be ready to execute the
missed approach.

Exactly. I would presume that the pilot would have contacted AVX
UNICOM near RIGLI, the FAF. If s/he knew MDH was 498' and the
reported ceiling was 100', it would be apparent that a missed approach
would be a virtual certainty.
