With that speed you aren’t able to react to anything visible in the flightpath anyway 💨
It’s not supersonic during landing or taxing, which I guess is when a direct view would be more useful.

It’s correct, though. By the time anything is big enough to be visible to the eye, it’s far too late to change course. That’s what radar is for.
During takeoff, landing, or any ground movement, I’m sure they use instruments first and cameras second. And ground guides or just tugs.
