I don’t think anyone thought it was the only reason people wanted them but it being one of the reasons wasn’t lost on anyone either.
That being said that’s all over with and Blue eye are achieved and as someone who didn’t think it made sense with Holy magic of the Sunwell seeming more sinister to me, I never thought of HEs returning home either as you’ve pointed out. So it is what it is, I’m happy for you, I won’t be using them, I’ll use them on my VE priest though with the new customizations.
