Shattered Kingdoms

Why?

Because it's not a recall point.

Only recall points should have this bonus?

Quite a few reasons, but ultimately the extra bonuses for inns are meant to attract players together to create specific higher trafficked areas, not encourage greater spread away from the starting kingdoms.

If the player base increased in size to to justify another starting kingdom, it's safe to say inn regeneration would be placed in an inn there as well.

Closing areas and discouraging travel to other Kingdoms hurts the pbase. Not sure why folks think otherwise. Condensing players into smaller niches isn't a long-term solution.

I could get a minimum 3-4 players to come back to the game if the Black Hand was reopened. The Empire being the only "safe space" for darkies is really, um, annoying. Necros, for example, belong in the North as evidence by things such as this:

You're not getting a ton of argument from me, but that decision was made quite some time ago and this inn no longer offering a favored status is just a reflection of that decision. Removing the regeneration also levels the playing field as some players were abusing the disconnect. No area was closed, it's just now treated more in-line with it's status. As I said before...

You mean resting in an inn?

I mean.... #nospoilers (?) but there's necromancy taught at the academy.

Succinctly? Yes.

Literally every other spot in the entire game that has a regen script is a recall point. The other inn that was once a recall point but is no longer lost the regen script. This was a pretty clear oversight/disconnect and was being exploited.
