You're quoting from a section on right of way and collision avoidance. Being asked to maintain visual separation for flying in the pattern (instead of radar separation) is not the same thing as "we expect you to regularly look out the window to avoid a collision with other aircraft as a backup to ATC fucking up and collision warning not working."
They ran down the aircraft's fuel, contributed to crew fatigue, and their language and conduct on the radio was petulant, at best. This is all because US controllers use visual approaches because they can fit more planes in.
The entire system is overloaded and overworked, and the strain is showing in skyrocketing near-miss incidents.
