I know when the last time I used mine was: About two years ago when some new friends started playing and I wanted to show them this awesome blue bird that was slow as hell that I spent several months of my life working on that was useless before it was even hatched.

The restrictions on areas within which you can summon your mounts, combined with the availability of fast travel, make mounts so close to completely worthless that I'm going to go ahead to the extreme of saying that not only was spending timing implementing new mounts time wasted, but that simply considering whether or not to add new mounts was time wasted.
The only reason I don't use my chocobo much is too many of the new places they added since the start of the game chocobos can't be used in. Also I'd really like it if both these mounts and the personal chocobo could be called with a command instead of via an item with limited charges. It's really silly, and that tax on their use is really unnecessary because its only purpose is to validate the rental chocobo's continued existence.

But as I've said before and I'll say again, just because you didn't want something doesn't mean it was a waste.
