It may depend on the field, but if you have an IFR arrival inbound on an
ILS approach, and an IFR departure waiting to take to the skies, the guy
on the ground is not going to be released.


That is not correct.



At larger airports where they have more runways or larger distances
separating incoming from outgoing they can squeeze the timing a bit. From
my home field (class D) I know this to be the case.


You believe that to be the case, but that is not the case. You are
misinformed.
