Because when I buy a game and all of its expansions and pay a monthly fee I get sick to death of seeing cool items go up for more cash. If idiots would stop falling all over themselves to support the shitty business practice, it wouldn't be a problem.
As someone who levels alts at a decently frequent level I'm just going to feel contempt every time I level one and know if I decide to throw more cash at the pig I could level ten times faster. And as you yourself said, there is nothing to spend JP on, which is why this would work out even better.
Levelings going to be a ridiculous grind soon enough, and I guess that's the plan because now they can just sell us things to make the game fun instead of a chore.

Sure it doesn't. Maybe not on you, but I know it will have an impact on me. I'm not throwing out cash at a pay to play game, I'm completely against the ethics of it and I don't give a shit if I win the lotto tomorrow, still not going to do it.
Once it launches, like I said I will feel contempt with every alt I level. Every time I run a dungeon and gain half a level while the next guy in my group is gaining 5, I will feel contempt. A playerbase with contempt is not one that you want to foster, of course in the desperate cash grab that this game has become, nobody stops to think of that. Just more more more for the me me me crowd.
Really does astound me (although it shouldn't) how so many of the playerbase think "Oh I don't care therefore nobody should because my opinion is obviously fact."
You don't care about exp buffs so no big deal, guy above me doesn't care about mounts so no big deal, nobody should care about mounts. Next it will be somebody saying "Who gives a shit if Lil Ragnaros is a pay to win Blizz store pet that two shots close to anything in its path? Nobody pet battles anyway."
