I have an answer for the last question: there are many, many, many ways to make flight not just exist but be exciting - they could add mount gear, both cosmetic (mount transmog) and non-cosmetic (additional bags or, say, an ability that increases flying speed 2x for 10 sec with a 5 min cooldown), they can design multi-tiered zones with various tiers accessed via flying mounts (Storm Peaks), they can add mini-games with rewards (Darkmoon Faire circle chasing race, but perhaps something like WoW version of quiddich would work better), they could add achievements for sightseeing including from places only accessible by flying (GW2-like), etc.
