Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

It'll be one thing if the Savage raids didn't give you mounts at all. But the issue is they do. So it's not really a thing where you can say they are taking things from the game. Again if you got nothing from savage then you'd have a point.. but you DO get mounts from savage. In order words, this is not a thing you need to be worried about. This CC mount wasn't a thing for 5 years. Tho I feel like people would complain even IF it was behind something in game cause lets be real here. It would NOT have been a simple 3 mil MGP mount or whatever. It'll been in the hardest thing to get with a low drop rate like most things like that ingame. Most likely in feast for top 100. Thats a big IF anyway since it's been 5 years anyway. I stand by it that it was ALWAYS gonna be a store mount if it took 5 years for it to happen.

Thing is, my point isnt about savage mounts dropping or not. Or how hard it would be to get. Its about iconic bosses with music turned into mounts. Its about using boss models in a way that you try to incite nostalgia, among other feelings, in some players - and try to make them buy it.

For example I know lot of FF8 fans who were literally only doing E12S for the mount because FF8 was their fav FF. Or people doing eureka because they loved FFXI. Or doing bozja for the FFXII stuff. This is what I want from the game. Cool nostalgic mounts in-game to push you do more and help others, not swipe CC (lol) from mogstation.

Anyway im rambling but back to my original point:

Im against usage of boss models for mogstation items. To me, Twintania already felt bit "Eh!?" because it was coils boss thro recruit friend reward (so essentially paid, but not directly). I dont want to see the trend continuing. I dont mind about mounts in mogstation, just make them original, new, not re-used assets and maybe never seen in-game before.

For example a mount that I really dont have issues with in Mogstation is Fat Cat. Yes the minions been there since ARR, but it doesnt feel like middle-finger to see it in store as a mount like I feel when CC is.

And again, if CC is okay why would they stop there? Why not add that E4 model next? Why not make leviathan as mount? Or Ifrit? And no, I dont want those as mounts thro in-game either. But at least CC was close to "would be cool to have" because you can do that in PvP and mechanical bosses are bit more lore-friendly as mounts than primals..

I just hope this trend does not continue.
