I am totally ok with it, ever since i played GW2 and i saw what they do with the mounts i was so obsessed to see something similar in WoW and i am very happy that they implement this new flying.
I don't think you understand what entitlement means. We are paying customers and if we are not happy with a subscription that we are paying for, it's ok to complain and argue about it. Entitled is when you think your opinion only matters and YOU think Blizz ONLY needs to cater to you.
Besides, Flying is a common in-game feature, always has been since TBC and we already earn it expansions ago.
I only like flying when the zones prove nearly impossible to navigate by ground, and blizzard doesn't give us good flight paths or alternatives. Revendreth is horrible as a leveling zone because of the nearly impossible to work out roads and vertical lifts with flight paths few and far between. Flying suddenly makes the zone fun again. In legion they put a lot of effort into flight paths in logical locations, and giving you the flight whistle plus a dalaran hearthstone to free up your normal hearthstone, because of this flying wasn't that big of a deal when it did drop

You also have to take into consideration that Dragon riding is intentionally being made faster than traditional flying as well. People are going to want to be using that over regular flying once they get good at it. Hopefully the add are more platforming as well to the game too kind of like in Guild wars 2.
i don't even both with getting flying any longer
this is something that actaully interests me, as it has potential to be really fun
Dragon flight would need to be MUCH faster than normal flying to make it attractive in regular day to day gameplay, where the convenience of being able to hover and precisely maneuver is tough to beat. If it went at (say) 700% speed, I could see dragon flying from a quest/daily/whatever hub to my destination, and then switching to regular 410% flying when I get there.
If it's only like 500%, probably not. Dragon flight would only be used for specific challenges and races requiring it, which will certainly be in the expansion zones.
I think part of the whole flying issue is the fact that they still sell mounts, flying ones at that, in the store for a chunk of change. Also, a portion of the player base have spent >=15 years farming a range of mounts, I personally don't think in any game you should lose any functionality from things you've paid for, over and above the base sub.
Personally I also think the dev's are so separated from their player base it's concerning, I watch the video's they put out and they are cringe worthy, compared to something like Yushi on FFXIV, who clearly loves that game, these fools come across as a bunch of corporate boot lickers, who are really driven my MAU numbers, which have tanked because the experience has lowered over time - they come across as fake.
I do think the grind for this expansion, after artifact in Legion, neck in BFA, etc, will be moved to the Dragonriding - they are shady with their approach to pad their MAU metric. My view is existing flying should stay, even in it's current delayed form. But, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.
Blizzard tries to actually spice up their game, switch it up, attempt to bring some new nuanced types of gameplay into wow and this is what they get lol.
*sigh*
Children children children
no it isn't
stop whining

yes because Blizzard was so successful with spicing up the game in SL. Spicing up the game =/= making the game enjoyable, dear adult with the comprehension ability of a 3 yo kindergartner who her parents thinks she is soo special, and gifted.
Sadly the new expansion is not named dragon isle, its called dragon flight. What means to me the main content in the open world will be that dragon flight thing. Beside the dragon flight nothing else so far announced for 10.0 open world content.
Now the question is what kind of content do we get with dragon flight? Are there a lot nice quests to do with that or do we see flappy bird like content nobody likes to do?
Will there be a connection to the WoW mobile game where you can get more rep for your dragon with doing mobile game dump? I hope i am wrong but i think the answer we will get in may when this WoW mobile game will be announced. Maybe also misson table to play in there.
All in all so far no good news with this dragon flight featue for me.
