Other people's bonds do not affect mine, nor do they affect yours. It's not up to you to decide what the right reason for the bond system is.

But let's say you're right and only meaningful bonds should have the mount. There's no reason why they can't have the ability to purchase the deluxe option through both the cash shop AND gil - it would just mean the gil version would be an extreme amount (like 15-20mil). This way players who want that special bond can still get it without having to pony up more cash for a game they've already paid for and subscribe to each month; it just means they'll have to work hard for the gil first.
