I agree, but that's the system we have. CA is constantly going off during visuals into SFO. The entire airport wouldn't be able to exist if they had to treat those alerts seriously.
I think this is just a cultural difference between ATC and pilots. ALPA has pushed safety culture for pilots miles ahead of controllers. Multi-tasking in a cockpit had been pretty much illuminated, but good luck trying to tell controllers they shouldn't be multi-tasking.
