This is basically the same issue as public access to California beaches, where wealthy landowners attempt to block public access to the commons and turn it into private property.

- with beaches, you get to the beach, and that's it. Unless you bring a boat. With corner crossing, suddenly thousands of acres of vast land are available to you.
- with corner crossing, you're talking about specifically corners - which is a cool little... "corner case", if you will. Just something that resonates with me technologically.
- there's some considerations of "floating above ground" and "how low above ground are you allowed to fly". Like, could you float two meters above someone's private ground legally, without criminal trespassing? That has important answers with regards to stuff like drones etc coming onto your private land. And what about something like, say, ziplines? Could you have a horizon zero dawn style zipline in a corner that's just high enough for you to get to the other side of the corner?
1000 ft in populated areas, 500 ft in rural areas

Yes, because this is navigable airspace (by drones), making it part of the National Airspace System. Federal judges have struck down laws by municipalities trying to draw a line in the air where private property extends, saying that organizing any and all airspace is strictly an FAA power.
Some people find being on beaches very enjoyable in themselves, and don't find it a problem that the beach can't be used as a path to get somewhere else.
Most public beaches in CA have public access now.
In WY (and many western but not coastal states) it looks like the landowners will win. They can afford lengthy civil suits, enough to scare most people off. They can also afford to have laws written in their favor by the legislature.
