Not just emergency access and ventilation but the stations aren’t cheap or quick to build either. The tunnel itself is almost always the “easy” part.

From sf to la wouldn’t need stops in between. At most you’d need 1-2 stops in between. I could totally see this as cheaper than dealing with every land owner in between the train’s path

You still need to deal with every land owner in the path. Property rights don't stop at the surface of the earth.
