Exactly - which is precisely why they stand there.

If A1 has a clear path to the hoop, he is entitled to shoot and land however he wants.

Sure, but we can call a foul if he contacts an opponent who has legal guarding position.

If B1 is in his way, that's his problem.

If by "his" you mean A1, then I'm in full agreement with you.
I tend to look at this like the game of chess - you can "prevent" a player from moving into a space by putting your knight in a position to capture any piece moved into that square. B1 is allowed to position himself such to force A1 to alter his (A1's) course - it's no different 10 feet out from the basket as it is under the basket. If A1 is not willing to change his direction: PC foul.
