    This is the current reasoning for the implementation of "Class Mounts", with CNJ's Unicorn being the exception. Thus, it's unlikely that they will add more class mounts unless they create new rewards to entice players to Tank in DF much like the current Tank mounts try to incentivize.
    Yes it is relevant because you're using incentive rewards as an argument to not introduce more class mounts. If the incentive doesn't work then your argument falls. You are contradicting yourself by saying it's irrelevant.

    Unless SE grant an insane and useful reward for tanking such as a free house or millions of gil, nothing will ever have the desired impact. No cosmetic rewards, especially when they're just a skin of a feature everyone already has access to, will ever noticeably increase the tank population. No matter how cool a thing looks there will always be a lot of people who don't think it's worth the stress of tanking.

    So if it doesn't work why punish all the other classes by not letting them have unique mounts as well?

    The likelihood on it happening probably hinges far more on the amount of time and money SE would have to spend designing so many new mounts than whether or not they are concerned if adding more class mounts would somehow reduce the tank population or the incentive to tank. I don't know about you but I have literally never heard of anyone who took up tanking just because they wanted a specific mount. I haven't even heard of anyone playing cnj just for the unicorn. Not saying it doesn't happen but it's definitely not common.
