No that's not evidence at all, that's just a cute anecdote about the highest tier ranks which doesn't even neccessarily have causal relationship. I'd argue the opposite, that overall top 100 timelimited rewards decrease interest in ranked.

You sit on the mount. A new player comes along: "Hey, I have never seen this, it's so cool! Where did you get this!"

"Oh it's from being top 100 in Season 20 of the Feast."

"Oh, can I still get it?"

"No, it's no longer in the game"

"Ah, alright, shame! Thank you!"

I mean it's not really a motivating factor when shit just isn't there anymore it's the opposite!
