I honestly didn't give it much of a thought until I saw the option in Yoast. But then I thought, why can't all content be cornerstone content? Surely the effort that goes into it wouldn't be significantly different from what goes into regular content.

To give an analogy from the food world, it's like my chef friend says - a chef knows when she's making good or bad food. Making good or bad food is by choice and doesn't take much difference in effort. All it takes is a difference in willingness.

Yes, I did it for my site. It's really helpful to increasing my site rank on google.

Cornerstone pieces should be the content that you're looking to push in search as these are the pieces you want to internally link to and pass as much link equity to.
