Keep in mind, new players won't have access to a chocobo at the start like veterans will. Having something that increases your movement speed is better than nothing at all. Maybe it's purely psychological, but I think it's something that's nice to have. I wouldn't give two thoughts about it if it were built into my normal passive speed.
I am important enough to speak for myself, as are you, although one of us should keep our mouths shut. You can not like me but that doesn't suddenly make anything I talk about lacking in relevance. We're trying to discuss this game feature, there's no need to be rude.

As for the second half of your post, I agree that it is a nice feature, and perhaps it would be better off as a passive bonus without the TP involvement. I don't see how the "TP mini-game" of boost running makes the game any more fun.

I really don't see how that's the case. What you're talking about is an amount of work that is a leap beyond what they've announced they're doing. Usable items are used by being placed on the action bar or perhaps from a bag, but there's no evidence that every single usable ability or item in the game can be mapped to a key.
