Yes, but ATC is bound by 7110.65, which in 7-4-3 says (without regard to

b. Resolve potential conflicts with all other aircraft, advise an overtaking
aircraft of the distance to the preceding aircraft and speed difference, and
ensure that weather conditions at the airport are VFR or that the pilot has
been informed that weather is not available for the destination airport.
Upon pilot request, advise the pilot of the frequency to receive weather
information where AWOS/ASOS is available.


And you are perhaps surprised that the pilot guidance and ATC guidance are
not the same? :-)
