In all 3 cases we are zoning from one zone to another, yet we can choose the instance when walking or riding in, just not when teleporting. Why is that?
    I bet it's because technically you don't cross the zone border when you teleport in, so the server just randoms you the instance because you never made a choice. Then there's something in the code related to sunspots that forces teleport and walking in to be handled differently.

    Yoshi-P is doing his best and is patching Endwalker. Please wait warmly until it is ready.

    The transfer from one zone to another is handled by the same servers regardless of the method. The coordinates in the zone you transfer to are not really part of this, it's simply the exit of a zone instance and being placed in another zone instance regardless of your mode of travel. I can't imagine why it would be so hard to implement a simple dialog asking players to choose an instance.
