While that may generally be a reasonable hormone free approach to birth control, there's also the implications of women using hormonal contraceptives for menstrual related issues (ex: endometriosis, PCOS, severe PMS, hormonal acne) etc. Seems it's just one more risk to weigh against the benefits and this is disappointing news for a lot of women.

Reply to comment by angelicasinensis in Any type of hormonal contraceptive may increase risk of breast cancer: according to an analysis of data by researchers at Oxford, progestogen-only hormonal contraceptives may increase breast cancer risk by 20-30%; the use of combined contraceptives may also slightly increase breast cancer risk. by aiaaidan
