Hydro as U probably already Know the only separation of air craft the ATC is required to keep separation are those on an Instrument Flight Plan and only when in IMC. Not with standing they do try (On a workLoad Basics) try to keep other s advised of other aircraft but it is not their Job. It is still the pilots responsibility under the "Seen & Be seen concept) that the ATC system works. At least until after 1 Jan 2020 when all aircraft in controlled air space is mandated to have ADS-B Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast.
