Chocobo riding, though, doesn't become crappy because DoL/H can access them, which is why I see a difference here worth raising a discussion over.
This^^

Thank you for bringing some rationality to the conversation. Chocobos are a very fundamental part of a Final Fantasy game, and there is no reason why they couldn't implement an alternative means to obtain a chocobo for DoH/L.

All they're doing is unnecessarily excluding some of their player base by allowing only fighting classes to obtain personal chocobos. Will DoH/L having a personal chocobo negatively affect the playing experience of any fighting class in any way? No? Will it negatively affect the playing experience of non-fighting classes? Yes? Then why do it?
