Where I fly regularly ATC prefers to give a wind check that they know is within the limits for most airlines rather than having to change the approach sequence of all the widebody aircraft morning arrivals, plus all the pushback and taxi clearances already given.
Now, once aligned for take off, or crossing the threshold for landing, you are on your own!
