Is the ILS notonly used for landing when weather conditions are goodpoor?

Either I'm missing something, or this article clearly suggests, that pilots are using ILS for landing only in bad weather conditions. Which could lead to an assumption, that in perfectly clear weather they're landing always or nearly always in visual.

Even though I'm complete newbiecompletely new to aviation, I was always sure, that ILS is used on every landing procedure, nowno matter, if weather conditions are good enough to do it visually. ILS landing seems to be faster, more precise and thus, more safe, and thus -- in my naive opinion -- should be useused whenever it is available (i.e. whenever ILS is commisionedcommissioned and operational).

What am I missing?
