I'm guessing flying makes them think every corner of the map should be traversable, but it really doesn't matter if there's nothing there. I think the maps have gotten bigger too, but it only really means things are spaced out further. Every new map I'm finding myself just running straight to each aether current or MSQ point without really caring as much for the actual landscape. It worked in HW partly because it was different from ARR, but it hasn't changed since and the formula's gone stale.

Typically people will call it out or you'll see it in PF, but they seem to happen infrequently and you're unlikely to know unless you happen to be in the zone or just happen to spot the parties for it in PF
They've updated those fates to show up on the map now.
