It very subjectively feels like the number of incidents i've seen in post-covid commercial aviation has increased significantly, but, again subjectively, I'll say I don't think ATC is the issue.

In the incident last month when a DAL flight had a rejected takeoff after a UA flight crossed their runway, the UA flight crew was clearly at fault when you listen to the transcript and barring any major new evidence i'm sure the FTC report will agree.

The flight in November where a LATAM flight collided with a fire truck was also not the fault of ATC, thought we might never know exactly what caused the runway incursion there because the driver (and everyone else) in the lead vehicle was killed.
