They were never considered trivial even back when we had open access to flight. TBC, Wrath, Cata all had competitive gathering. It still is competitive and working as intended if you play classic TBC. I'm not sure what this argument is other than a subjective opinion that you think flight trivializes makes gathering and stealth pointless, which it doesn't.
Because it's not a great idea and that's why flight and pathfinding still exist? If it were such a great idea, then Blizzard could have removed flying and flying mounts from the game altogether, or designed every new expansion zone with zero flight access instead of it being timegated. So really, what kind of argument are you making here? Maybe, just maybe, you don't actually understand why people actually enjoy flight and only believe it trivializes content when really the content should be enjoyed as people please, not just limited because you can't help yourself but cheese the challenges if you had the option to.
As I said, the jumping challenges were never mutually exclusive to limiting flight in the world, and they can all be designed for specific areas that limit flight, just as all indoor content prevents you from using mounts. We have that already without limiting the rest of the world from flight.
