A brief example; you will learn that you can't be off the runway by
20 meters at most airports without things getting ugly. You will
also learn that there will be times when you will be unable to take
off or land at a chosen airport, and how to judge those times
reasonably well.


Here's an article extolling a few of the problems of airparks. Note
the one extraneous activities on the runways.

Apparently, your "experience" doesn't involve flying into airports located
in rural areas. There are all kinds of "extraneous activities on the
runways", mostly non-human. A pilot knows how to deal with these
situations appropriately, minimizing the risks.
