The thing one must remember about Skyloft is that it was made for a purpose. And a thousand years later, that purpose came to pass.
A youth of the city challenged the Demon King, who had been sealed by the goddess, but not killed. He managed to kill the creature by fortune's favor and the blessing of the gods... and then the clouds which had separated earth from sky rolled back. The people of Skyloft looked down on the earth for the first time in lifetimes, and found it beautiful. Most made the choice to go to the lands their people came from and build themselves a new life.
But to go to the Surface they would have to give up their Loftwings, who were never meant for the land below. And some refused to go to a world where they could not fly and would have no life companion by their side. So when much of Skyloft fell to the earth, parts of it remained in the sky. And the people of the city became two tribes, parted between the heavens and the earth.
