I think they are just using their experience of what people complain about. For example, people complained about having to travel everywhere on foot in FFXIV 1.0, so all the way in XVI they seem to have kept this lesson in their hearts and allowed you to teleport everywhere, taking away from the standard RPG experience of having to journey around on foot.
