Read the part you quoted again - including what you bolded. The closest you get to ground ops is that a landing aircraft has the right of way over a taxiing one. IOW, the airplane landing has the ROW on the runway while rolling out. It still doesn't deal with what happens when the landing airplane gets off the runway.
OTOH, 91.113(d), (e) and (f) don't have any restrictions on whether it's in the air or on the ground.
