I dunno where your seeing xp potions or valor point potions on the list of things on the cash shop. The level 90 boost is shown under character services and is an entirely different category then the vanity stuff which makes up 90% of the list of things for sale and no way effects the game what-so-ever.

Also Warcraft is an older game and does have to take steps to maintain its player base. the same might happen to XIV when it reaches Warcrafts age, but for now I wouldn't worry.
