Not saying ATC doesn’t provide a valuable service, just that you don’t make the rules and can only offer suggestions to a pilot. The rules around certain airspace are not the result of ATC.

Agreed....but the pilots don’t ‘make the rules’ either....Yes they have latitude and have to pay attention.You and I both know that not listening to what ATC suggests can be VERY risky
