If I go to an area that requires flying as a check for something or say there
was an area with a hypothetical syntax like "fly up to roof" that only works
for characters who can fly, I should be able to complete that check and syntax
if I am currently riding a flying mount.

That is all.

In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, theyre not.

I agree with you. However, it all depends on how the area is coded.
Generic checks for such things have probably been added later. For
example, someone might have coded such a syntax back in the days
when levitate was the only way to fly and there was no way to query
a player if she is flying, so the check would then just be for the
levitate spell.
Later, checks for all sorts of things have been added, including (I think) the
one you mention.
When you encounter these things, make a bugreport and it can be fixed.
Based on some obscure syntax I have no idea in which of our 1000 areas
said stupidness lives.
