Again, it doesn’t demand ATC services, and that’s good rather than bad. Just as in New York, ATC in Los Angeles is often far too busy to contend with VFR aircraft.

Of course not... "ATC Clearance Required", ""ATC Clearance Required", "ATC Clearance Required", "ATC Clearance Required".

Because:
It’s significant that the Los Angeles corridor has never had a midair collision, partially a function of the vertical separation of opposing traffic by the usual 1,000 feet.
and
Another factor is pilots who are more diligent in assuring their own reasonable separation when they know there’s no controller looking out for them.
Class G anyone?

VFR require a clearance in C. https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/...on_of_Airspace
