NO IT DIDN'T
Actually, no!
It is more likely because at most of our RPT airports outside Class C you could stand on the runway 23.5 hours a day and not get hit by anything except training aircraft following existing - and more stringent proposed - CTAF rules (given that the new CTAF rules embrace MBZ procedures).
I'm not sure how the existing IFR to IFR separation arrangements by radio, not including any VFR component, are watered down by the NAS in the out of radar areas.
