Indeed, but to every other pilot we are the other traffic, so we need to broadcast something, and that's very likely to be ADS-B.

We are broadcasting something.
ATC can receive P3I and FLARM if they wish. The RAF do this, they fit their Tutors with FLARM and have receivers in the OGN network. I think I've heard that the BBMF also uses FLARM. Benson has a OGN display in the tower.
Eventually ADS-B but light, cheap ADS-B in/out seems even newer than PAW.
