Ok, at least it makes things easier on controllers if they are talking to
the spam cans, no?


Could go either way. If the controller is talking to the spam can and has a
verified altitude that makes the traffic a non-factor then traffic doesn't
have to be issued. If the controller is talking to the spam can and has a
verified altitude that makes the traffic a factor then traffic has to be
issued to both parties.



And that makes things safer for the other aircraft?


Yup.
