The cooldown removal used to be an actual thing: Arcanite, Mooncloth, Primal might… they used to have a loooong cooldown and now they have none. I can somewhat understand that not removing all these old cooldowns could be related to the fact that some of the items created using the mats that can only be produced with a 24h+ cooldown might still be relevant. For example, Sky Golems still sell because they’re actually still useful, because you will not get dismounted when herbing. They’d still sell if Jard’s cooldown was removed but the margins would shrink considerably. As this sounds a lot like artificial scarcity, then yea, I agree - let the people craft as much old stuff as they can.
This was also brought up in the Collectors Wish List for Professions thread, and I think unless these old crafted items are changed to BoE, they should at the very least be something you could put a craft order in for. I also hope this system won’t work like the AH, where I can’t buy my own auctions on an alt - if I have the leatherworking pattern on my shammy, please allow her to see (and fulfil) my rogue alt’s crafting request.
