When players gain access to teleport spells and magic items, they've gained new ways to interact with the world around them. If a player wants to go from point A to point B, there's usually only a couple ways to do so at level 1. Usually swimming or taking a vehicle. At high levels, they can now do so with their magical powers. They can still decide to preserve their magic or walk to not miss anything, but they can also opt to teleport to their destination. Teleportation is unreliable anyways. Even if you used scrying to visually see your destination, the Teleport spell still has a roughly 25% chance to screw you over. They try to teleport to their destination, they're taking a risk even if no shenanigans are played on the DM's part.</blockquote>
