I guess to some extent, VFR in a bug smasher doing circa 100-150 kts through/above the zone is a bit like agricultural machinery on a freeway
Except that using the prevailing logic, if there was a chance of conflict the agricultural machinery would have priority because it is being used for commercial purposes.
The same argument would be to reserve major roads for buses. It's actually kind of ironic that the only place public transport gets the priority the Greens would say it deserves is in aviation.
In reality though I'm not sure the conflict really needs to exist. Most other places the accepted wisdom is that the runways are the bottleneck, not the airspace. You can transit a lot more aircraft through airspace than you can fit onto a runway.
Either we have found a much more efficient way to use 2 intersecting runways that we should share with the world, or we have found an inefficient way to use airspace.
