My recollection is that ops control by ATC disappeared about 20 years ago.

So all this stuff about how much fuel to carry for weather, traffic, diversions has been company/pilot stuff for a long time.

When the pilots get it wrong and declares an emergency - that's when it becomes a problem for ATC (and the pilot).
