It's inhibited from giving warnings below a certain height to avoid false warnings at low level. In any event it can only avoid collisions by giving climb/descent instructions not turning instructions so it wouldn't be useful on the ground.

Sometimes on take off it might show the one ahead whilst still on the runway but that is a side effect rather than a design feature.
