Veteran Rewards kinda suck nowadays when comparing to cash shop items

For every thing we get on the player's end there's always a consequence to the server. So increasing mount speeds, especially only for specific ones, would almost certainly cause more problems than they'd be worth.

I believe the servers only updates the position of the player every 0.2 or 0.3 seconds (not entirely sure which one, or even if it's either, but the point stands regardless), even if you're traveling at 10,000x the sprinting speed it wouldn't make a difference as the server only checks your position periodically.

What I don't get is..what the actual issue is..like is it too fast? If so whats the issue of making it go the normal speed of other land mounts..I don't think people will flip out too much if it's the same speed.

...updates the position of the player every 0.2 or 0.3 seconds...

This is also another of the issues with fast mounts and was also quite the problem early in 2.0 when people were trying to kill Titan Hard. Lag and the update proc would have people getting Weight or Landslid when not even in the AoE. Imagine, then, what that'd be like with a mount exceeding the current speed cap. You'd be motoring along then suddenly find yourself getting dismounted by a mob you'd passed moments ago. It's happened to me more than a few times between 1.0 and early 2.0. There's also the matter of equality, Square clearly doesn't want to force one mount to be ideal over all (except the Company chocobo, but he's meant to be special). I'm fine with that, means we can make any mount we want be our favorite and not suffer for it.

...3 times normal movement speed?

More like 2.5x walking speed.
