You can’t really do multiple layers of tunnels with cut and cover. It also requires the tunnels to follow where you can actually cut instead of the most direct route.

Sure you can. I ride such a line every week day.

True about the most direct route, but having uncontested right of way tends to make a big difference in travel times. And in grid layouts, where you want to go is closely aligned to how you get there.
