The impression of losing flight is an unfortunate side-effect of apparently being granted flight in [all places you have access to]. This is not actually what you have unlocked.

The alternative was adding aether currents to ARR areas, or not adding flight to ARR at all and keeping it in HW where it makes logical sense. Which would you prefer?
In a linear playthrough, the player unlocks the ability to fly after the completion of ARR content, only to have it restricted in later zones. This is not an impression, that is the game experience. It is a very unfortunate one. The solution is to not restrict flying once it has been unlocked.
