I don't know where they are in lore but they do seem to be more of a 
basic 'unstick' option in initial game design. Many games don't limit 
hearths, treating them as flightpaths/portals to any inn-type waypoint 
you have visited.
I expect wow will get unlimited hearths sometime and flightpaths will go 
away, or maybe just waypoint autopilot on your flying mounts. It depends 
if they want to keep the timesinks going.

  I can see why they do it, many games without timesinks burn out 
content quickly. Maybe taking only the best things from other games 
isn't the best long term strategy.
