Probably not meant that way, but that's a potentially dangerous
thought. At towered airports, ATC is controlling the sequencing of
traffic to avoid airplane having unfriendly meetings on the runway.

But they are not "watching out for you." You are PIC. =You= are
watching out for you. There has been more than one accident and many
near ones caused by a pilot thinking that vigilance was not necessary
because of those extra eyes. That was brought home to me one day when
tower tried to turn me into the path on an incoming CitationJet.
