those rally guys choose to fly at a strip with 1500 VFR landings a day. 99.999% choose to fly with the benefits of electronic assistance and ATC - i.e. choose safety at the expense of VFR fun.
No they don't! MOST light aircraft fly uncontrolled most of the time at airfields where the conduct of the flight is at the Pilot's discretion.
On the other hand, MOST commercial flights fly in controlled airspace almost exclusively.
If I am a passenger on a large commercial plane, I don't give a hoot about hobby flights, and nor do the vast majority of the normal public. If you don't want to use the radio, don't fly there, fly someplace else. So the airspace for hobby flight could be getting reduced/restricted - big deal, live with it, or move.
So what you are saying here, is that big corporations and profit have total control of all we do?
Its Ok Mr Sandwich, your house is going to be ripped up for a new 100,000 seater stadium for monster trucks. The 100,000 spectators don't give a damn about you, but its OK, as there are more of them. We are moving you for your safety!
The main point here is that there is space in the sky for all of us, be it in a balloon, glider, lighty for fun, lighty for profit, military, training, commercial etc.
Most controllers and commercial pilots do not actually realise hopw little control is needed for a small airfield with slow, light traffic. GA is under threat from all sorts of places and killing it will also have knock on effects for all of us. We need to be sensible about airspace, charges and fairness. There are plenty of bits of airspace that should become unrestricted, and a few that should be more so, its getting the balance right so that we can share the air in the way that we should.
The US have a better way of airspace classification in the "open FIR" than we do - and give a better service to small aircraft at a lower cost - we could do that too.
