Hell. Even add a gil sink of Savage Dungeon Sustain potions so they can do crazy things like Keeper of the Lake + 4 BLM + Double Enemy Health + Blind or something.
You have no idea how much it would cost them, titles take up RAM in the game client. Mounts take up disk space, because you can't just make a boss a mount by rescaling it. It needs to have all the mount animations for swimming and flying too. Why do you think we haven't seen all the 2.0 mounts fly yet?

At best, a permanent leaderboard system would be the easiest thing for SE to maintain as they already have a system in place for it for PotD and HoH. Extending it to other content requires tracking points, and to do that, take the HoH strategy for doing this content by syncing the content to minimum ilevel, and have the handicap be a permanent debuff applied at the start. Separate scores for solo and party.
