Some people might travel by airplane once a year. Some might travel once a month. A small amount of people might travel every day, or every few days. In this case, it isn't the frequency of use of any one group of people, but the sheer number of people using the service collectively that make it profitable. Less expensive or less uncomfortable methods (chocobos, airships, etc.) would therefore still see use. Chocobo and Airship Travel are to Aetheryte Teleportation as Bus and Rail transportation are to Flight. Additionally, Aetheryte, like Flight, can only take you to very specific, already-established places. Chocobos and Buses can just drop you off at whatever backstreet you need to go. That's another advantage for them.
That does make a lot of sense to me.Â
I guess my main concern is just the dramatic and story consequences of teleportation being so real and so convenient. It seems to me like it makes life far too convenient for people and I'd prefer if it weren't real for that reason. It kind of trivializes the world geography.
As an aside I don't think all RPers are "adventurers" though I'm sure many (or most?) are.
