Because the navaid is not on the extended runway centerline.



Nope - Look at the VOR 14 approach to ITH (Ithaca New York - Just
grabbed the book and picked that one by chance). The VOR is on the
centerline, the runwya heading is 144.6° and the VOR approach is 133°.
When
you break out, you have to turn 11.6° right to land. I don't see why they
couldn't have published it right on the 145° radial.

Because if they had you flying the 145 radial, you'd be flying parallel to
the extended centerline of runway 14 and would still have to sidestep to be
aligned.
