Even as a not-new person this baffles me to high extremes.
I basically have to do everything that there is worth doing in the zone and explore it completely before I can use something confined specifically to that zone, which I will never visit again because that zone is now basically done. By the time you unlock flying, it's practically useless.
What the hell, SquareEnix.
This design decision was made because Yoshi looked at games like WoW that had flying in the past and realized that introducing flying in the very beginning takes away the feeling of exploration and navigating terrain during the leveling process.
People would just fly in straight lines from point a to point b and never explore, and it would take a very short time to complete quests.
So that's why Blizzard killed flying abd that's why Yoshi made flying unlockable only after the zone has been thoroughly 'warmed in'.
Hope that makes sense.
