Don't be silly. It's not the same.

And, of course, it's far easier to
properly incorporate into new digital jets. Have we retrofitted ABS to older cars?
The SOPs for operation/use of ADS-B In would be interesting to read.
Is avoiding weather fundamentally different than avoiding colliding with other aircraft?
How much attention does it take to see if a dot with a vector off of it is aligned with the AC dot with its vector, say 10 seconds in length? Does weather radar have a proximity alert? (Honestly don't know. Only designed structure for 2 of them for the Air Force to deliver what needed to be delivered when there were people actively opposed to a successful delivery. Both C-130.)
They did retrofit seatbelts to older cars, a similarly minor change to the overall system. Take one to the track and it gets a roll cage, explosion resistant fuel tank and a 5 point harness retrofitted.
As to SOPs, look at the FAA suggestions for how ADS-B would be used to deconflict helicopter operations in the crowded low-level airspace over a city. I think their use case video is about 10 years old.
