It's like that since the early days of retail and I'm pretty sure it's still the same on retail, I can log-in my mage and check it if you want. The whole concept behind AM is to follow the target after it's been cast, to break vanish, follow the target behind LoS and not getting restricted by range. After you cast it they will land unless resisted or interrupted.

Definitely not the same on retail.
Sounds very unlikely to ignore range imo.

Not sure if I should answer with 6'2'' or yes.

Gotcha, so you're an inanimate object. Explains your inability to impress your ideas upon humans.

i played mage for the entirety of TBC and i can confirm that arcane missiles was canceled when people ran out of range...

however i suppose it's possible that it worked differently in vanilla.

seems a little odd to me.
