That's the main thing that bugs me about the BST argument. I don't think the people making that point read the interview where Yoshida laid out his ideas for BST - he basically said that he'd like to see a greater BOND between the BST and his pet - that he might even be considering a singular pet from beginning to end that you develop and expand. The BST in XIV will probably be quite different than that from XI -- and, if so, I wouldn't be surprised if THAT PET would be mountable, as well, which would already give BST a unique mount.
