If I got a choice between a Mirror and one of the special mounts, I'd take the mount every time. Just because you think about nothing but progression it doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way, and it's pretty ignorant of you to think that.
What are you talking about? There's quite a lot of assumptions in your post. Something being extremely rare adds value to the item. Just because it's something that you want that is rather uncommon to see/get, doesn't mean they have to just give it to you. If they want something to be rare, yet at least accessible to most people to try to get, low RNG is the best way to do it. How special do you consider the guaranteed accessible mounts like the Behemoth, Ahriman, Fat Chocobo, etc? They're awesome mounts, but would you consider them the same value/worth as say... the Legacy Chocobo or even the mounts in question (Primal ones)? Design intent is a huge reason why you can't always get what you want.
