You seem to have missed the point.
People get to play the way they want to. If you find that boring then it is your problem.
True enough, if rude. The difficulty is that a very large portion of the AH population is finding this style of flying, and - most important - the resulting lack of combat, to be boring. And because of that - so the theory goes - they are leaving, and going to other places.
Now we can ignore that. We can make fun of them for not anticipating other flying styles, for being intolerant, or for being inartful flyers themselves. But that avoids the issue, it doesn't address it. If it's really an issue.
If it's a real thing; if we are losing players because of an increasing reluctance to engage in combat...shouldn't we maybe think of some way to fix it? And hey, if not, then pop the champagne cork and have a drink!
