I think the problem is that the open world in WoW is made in such a way that people feel it is not right to allow others to unlock flying before them. The idea is that, for you to enjoy being grounded, everybody else has to be grounded as well.

So the whole flying unlock is forced upon everyone even if some of them want to fly as that's how they prefer to engage with the open world of WoW. I get that you can't please everyone. Even in FFXIV, some people think aether currents is too much of a requirement for flight unlock. But I do think pathfinder and this new system in 9.2 is a bit extreme.
