Gunspec explained this clearly. In 2.0 we could obtain both old items and new holiday items with gil. SE then decided to REMOVE all of those items from the game so that they could sell them on a cash shop. It's disgusting.
I would argue they essentially did. Those mounts would clearly have been granted to the player in previous expansions. You see the NPCs ride them about all the time, and even flightpaths will set you on them.

It definitely DOES matter. Are you telling me that if all the mounts in this expansion were simply a recolored chocobo, and they released 5 unique models and plopped them on the cash shop, you wouldn't be upset?

I can tell you the people that play WoW are QUITE upset. Mount collecting is pretty important to quite a few people.
