I’m no aerospace doctor or nothin, but I’d think the pilot would be expected to stay on a very strict schedule. If they arrived at the intended airport minutes ahead of schedule they might have trouble landing when another scheduled flight is trying to land or have to awkwardly circle the runway until there is clearance.

Approach control takes care of that for airliners. They literally get told vectors to maintain.
IFR pilots follow ATC instructions throughout their flight.
