I understand your reasoning, but there are a few ramifications of that
"policy" that you failed to mention:

1. Statistically pilots' error rate is artificially inflated to
unjustly accommodate ATC chicanery. To the extent that such
statistics are used for planning and policy modification, they
provide erroneous information, thus degrading the result.


They don't get reported outside the facility therefore they don't skew
any numbers. Management says..."Yup, pilot error," Matter dropped.
Nobody else knows the pilot got blamed for an ATC error.



2. ATC personnel who commit operational errors are not caught, so
that they can be re-trained, or made aware of how to correct their
thinking that caused the errors they made.


The vast majority of the errors will be compression errors on final.
Separation falls to 2.9 miles as leading aircraft is just about to cross
the numbers. You need three. Big deal, 582 feet short of the required
15,700 horizontal feet.
