Right.. for example at OSH where they are landing 3 planes at a time on
the same runway.


Oshkosh gets a special exemption to allow that. Normally,
there are stricter rules that the controllers must follow.
They have to plan (with little exception) that one aircraft
can not touch down until the other is clear.


At HPN, sometimes they play a little game. If the spacing is tight, the
controller will ask the first plane, "Are you clear of the runway?". If
the pilot has any savvy at all, he'll reply that he is, regardless of
whether he's really over the hold short line or not. The tower will then
immediately give me my landing clearance.

Everybody wins. I don't get sent around and controller has "proof" on the
recording that he didn't break any rules.
