Yes

They're making it so you can use all flying mounts as ground mounts in WoD, so a disclaimer is not needed.
So making a thread inferring Blizzard is unethical for selling flying mounts when flying is disabled in Draenor is the natural way to show your displeasure right?
There is still going to be tons of stuff to do in Draenor, tons of places to explore, tons of hidden secrets to find, you just will be doing it by ground mounts now. And guess what, you are not at a disadvantage at all, because EVERYONE will be grounded! It will be fair still. Its not like Blizz is saying, "all horde characters will be grounded but Alliance players will be able to fly at 150% speed."
Somehow I think that people who are pro-flight in Draenor think that way, that somehow they will be at a disadvantage because they cant fly, which is absolutely silly.
You can still ride them on the ground in Draenor. Is is really that hard to be informed?

No it isn't "unethical" to sell the flying mounts on the Blizzard Store. I never bought a mount because it could fly or not.
I think it's shitty of them. I personally don't buy mounts, but it's ludicrous to think that "oh they can walk too" is a reasonable solution. Can't wait to see all of the giant winged creatures derping around on the ground for no explicable reason.
Clarity is important. It'd be very beneficial for Blizzard to be crystal clear when selling expensive in-game items. They're a business and a very influential one and so more people should be applying pressure to ensure that they're operating ethically.
If somebody is willing to spend extra money on a mount and go out of their way to do it, it is highly unlikely they do not know what is on the table for WoD. People that are coming back after a year or more off might be surprised anybody else has been conditioned towards this and almost certainly has heard about it dozens of times.

Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.
As my friends are looking to come back for the expansion, I ask them what they think about not flying any longer. Most do not believe what i am telling them.
I recently subscribed again to get my shit in order for the expansion. When I asked my guildies in vent what they thought about flight being removed they asked me what i am talking about.
People are buying mounts thinking they will be able to buy flying at 100. Should they be fore warned flying will not be happening?
I question that.
I think plenty of people are unaware there is even a potential situation of no flying past max level (never mind past 6.1) I think there are plenty of people unaware of a stat squish.
I think however most people can click an in game button and know it is there
It doesn't even take time to adjust. If you have been playing in current content for the last 1.5 years you are used to not flying in current content. People have adjusted they are just so freaked out when they read something they don't realize that it has already happened.
