Since the ticket would only have to be checked when departing fantasy springs would it really be a problem, like you just scan your ticket at the sea gate and you’ll either get waved through or told “sorry this is a Disneyland day for you”
I’m not advocating for a single ticket to allow you to park hop by passing through fantasy springs, just more having fantasy springs as a “neutral zone” that’s functionally in both parks at once
No, they quite specifically don't want crowds from both parks hopping to begin with, historically and currently. It's a long standing operational decision. I understand what you are framing is 'different' than hopping, but it is actually so much worse operationally.
They want to easily control how many guests that are circulating through a given park per day. They don't want mismatched demand, like happens quite frequently in the American parks (one park is slammed and another is empty). A shared land just means 30 million guests a year can access it all the time, as opposed to 15 gated via Disney Sea. It would be a crowded nightmare. As is it's going to have a standby queue for just DisneySea guests, why would Disneyland guests also being allowed in on a given day be a good thing?
You are not thinking about this from an operational lens at all. There is a reason we have "gates" and not just a single blob of a park. IF OLC was positive on park hopping, then sure, a back door entrance would make sense. But still not a shared land for every ticketed guest of either park.
The monorail long term exists for navigational convenience though.
