ATC can provide radar service to VFR pilots but it is something they only do if they have the resources, and even when they do the primary responsibility is on the pilots

You’re right.
I think the point is that the air traffic controllers need to take their job more seriously and lose the cavalier atitude.
Also ATC’s and cops should be required by law to leave their cell phones in their lockers & not bring them on the job.
