Except you don't always have the room to get at the filter with these like a 2009 CRV where the filter is almost recessed except a very shallow portion of the filter.

That is 100% true. My statement should be interpreted as applying to me only.

We wouldn't have a screw-driver worth of room to get in there either. It's really poor engineering on Honda's part. They should have spec'ed a longer filter or given you more room around it. I fought one afternoon with the one on my MIL's CRV. Couldn't even get one of those claw socket driven things from above around it. (Forget the name of them)
 
Once, in one of my less better moments. I recall it getting the job done, eventually, but the radiator almost didn't make it (as I said, it wasn't a good moment in time).
