As mentioned earlier when ATC clears you to land just means the runway is clear , you do not have to land.
In addition the controller cannot know your own and your airline / aircraft limitations and what you experience on finals.
Last remark : in many airports , the wind readout on the anemometer does not reflect what you will have on finals , or at touchdown point . The actual anemometer(s) are fixed somewhere, and when you have a few of them , it gives the average .
