Because fast travel is... fast?
> What is it exactly that we hate so much about traveling?
Most of slow travel is extremely boring.
> But I love spending time hiking, cycling, or driving through the empty country at my own pace.
I enjoy those things, too, but I don't want to spend a week traveling somewhere when we have the means to travel there in under a day, for example.
Edit: besides, cheap fast travel allows you to spread people to more places, and not require them to bunch up in a few overpopulated cities.
