Actually the quote is,

You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time,
spoken by President Lincoln which was adapted from a John Lydgate poem. This wasn't meant to "inspire" people to make others miserable. And that can be your only motivation for fighting the instant airship ride, let's be honest.

For immersion, you will have the long ride, which gets added one patch after the airships. You can take the long walks any time you want. All the immersion you want for yourself in regards to travel you can have. No one is denying you your immersion.

Not everyone is interested in immersion, however, quite the way you envision. There are people who RP their characters with their friends. Having an "instant warp" can actually get them to where they need to be to play out a scene where their friends are gathering faster so they can be a part of the immersion they want to partake in. See what I mean?

It's a tool to be together with your friends who are waiting for you in a distant place. Or to make preparations quickly for the next round of questing, or whatever. The most important aspect that you're completely overlooking is the social aspect, which is really the driving force that keeps people playing. If the game makes it too hard to meet up with your friends and forces you into isolated corners of the world, it's not a fun game at all.
