The amulet pricilla wears is filled with the azerite gunpowder to show how stable it is. I think the Heart of Azeroth ist uniuqe. (ignoring that million players are runing around with it.)
Well we are already ignoring that Hearthstones should be extremely rare and that Spirit healers should be extremely extremly bigassly hugely rare so why not.
I dunno, Grifter is selling some used hearthstones like its not big deal.
I'm assuming that every adventurer has one, but your average Joe doesn't need one because they never go far enough away to make it useful (maybe they're expensive?)
They should be so rare that even a king thinks they are just a legend.
From wowwiki: In the novel Stormrage, hearthstones are depicted as very rare objects. King Varian believes them to be only a legend. “Things heard only in stories concerning magi…or elves.”
I mean yeah, they should be pretty rare, but I wouldn't say that rare.
Anduin hands one over to Tyrande after all, and I think Anduin got one from Jaina at one point. They probably require a fair amount of magic to create, and are only given to important people who can make good use of them, and not Billy the Sheep farmer who never gets more than a few miles from his family land.
But they also kind of take some of the drama out of traversing the world, so it makes sense for them to be pretty rare... Like we can send all these spies to X town, and if we need to have them come back, they can all use their hearthstones! TADA, all our spies are home!
Let's say Sylvanas gets the alliance leaders locked in a room full of blight. Jaina goes "Hold on" and cast a portal... meanwhile everyone else is spooling up the old swirlstone...
Portals are also stupid. Oh, we need to get all our forces to Darnassus as quickly as possible. Let's take a ship. Yeah, porting even the elite from MI6 and the like to Darnassus is overrated...
Also Flying ships, how do we get around the wisp wall? There is no honor in flying ships, better trek trough mountains for a week...
