In much the same vein, if we have the same spot that we want to get to and one person could just teleport there and another person used flying, they would be able to get to the same spot, but flying would just be slower.

So why don't we have the ability to just click anywhere on the map and TP there instantly and at no cost yet? After all, not having this option just slows down the game. Lock it behind full map discovery so other travel options have a window of being used.

You can apply all pro flight arguments to it, like, if you don't like it don't use it. Personal choice, yadda yadda. You can also use all the contra arguments, like how it invalidates terrain design etc. It's pretty much the same thing in faster.

So clearly, the reason why we don't have it is because of a bunch of gameplay fascists hellbent on denying people their wormhole fantasies. Or something. Could also be that invalidating all other travel options by introducing one that is objectively vastly functionally superior in every conceivable way is a bad idea, but that's just being crazy.
