Why is the corner 3 considered as the easiest one? (alien.top)

I always struggled with the corner shots because I have less of a spacial reference with the side of the backboard facing me. Shooting from the top of the key should be much easier, no? I always had the most success with the 45 degree angle one, right between the key and the corner. Maybe that's just me though.

Its closer but also normally wide open if I am not mistaken. Its normally outside of the play furthest from the top and center. I look at it like its the edge of the map. Fast breaks your taught to run there because it spreads the floor.
