Yes, if I could teleport, I’d certainly travel more—but I don’t think I would travel to all of the places I would like to have been, since I’d still have to do other things I don’t like about traveling, like packing and dealing with language gaps and setting aside time to be at the place, even if travel time is negligible. In all likelihood, teleportation wouldn’t be free, either.
Yes, and if there was a utility lever that you could pull to gain utility, you would spend your entire life pulling the lever. But there isn’t. And you cannot teleport, nor will you be able to in the foreseeable future. So Alicorn will have to continue taking the burden of travel into account when deciding whether or not to visit a place he would like to have visited.

If you could teleport, you wouldn’t need to pack, or book a hotel for that matter...
