Blood Elves and Draenei were optional Races you didn't need. Worgen and Goblin were as well. Same for Pandaren. Have ANY of them been locked behind an idiotic Reputation Gate? Nope! Same for Death Knight, Monk and Demon Hunter. What you got for buying an Expansion is now locked behind old content. If they get away with this expect every single new Race from here on out to be locked behind some type of gating. Probably same for future Classes as well.
