I pay for the game, so I'm certainly not going to waste my money not finishing it. That's my philosophy on it, at least.
That may be the case, but part of the point that's been raised previously is that this is less for people like you and others that have finished the content already, and more for people that are only just starting to play the game.
If you go and buy 4.0's xpac so you can play with your friends in the shiny new zones, it's going to seem like a bit of a waste of time to sit through two or three years worth of content that you have no interest in to get here. It takes a lot of time, and it may not make for the most enjoyable experience either.
Personally I don't see any harm in giving people the option to skip to the things that they want to do, so it's sort of a non-issue for me.
