This would suggest that the authorities feel that flying low over the coast either on arrival or landing is the higher risk activity.
Indeed all of the missile/drone activity has arrived in Dubai from the North, which is of course the direction of Iran.
Assuming operations continue like that they will be limited in capacity.
Favourable winds and zero airfield congestion. If the breeze were above limits, there would be no compromise.
