There was no mechanism in place for porters to instantly be connected to everyone in the World for a port. Port classes had to advertise per zone and people had to manually do /who all searches and PM each individual player to find a port. Again, even beyond that, port classes were busier trying to actually play the game to begin with. Not just do nothing but port while waiting in queue to do mass AoE power-level.

The entire point of this game is that its a sandbox. There have been raiding, tradeskill, and roleplaying guilds since the launch of EQ. Porting is a tradeskill. How you can think that a group of people binding together to offer a classic service is not classic is beyond my understanding. Do you believe <cracked staff artisans> or <dirty gnoll brewing company> are bad for norrath too? Whats the difference between them and dial a port other than the size of the entity and its amount of business?
Also the obvious answer of: if you dont like them, dont deal with them. I openly advertise against dial a port and try not to ever use their services, but arguing that its not classic is just lol to me.
