so as soon as the rocket starts to fall @ the minimum controll speed, they draw a virtual strait line between the rocket and the landing spot, and follow it, sort of an inverse geodetic line, compensate for wind with the "flaps" and vectored thrust on the rockets, giving enough horizontal thrust, and gravity providing a very steady and reliable pull makes a lot of sense, as it is the most fuel efficient and fastest return, and any issues with guidance are imediately clear, making it part of the abort system as well
