The fact of the matter is, none of us actually know how square handles this. It could be that someone is specifically making mounts for the cash shop. It could also be that the same team is making all the assets and someone is coming through and cherry picking for the cash shop. It's equally possible that it would have been made regardless of the cash shop, but square has seen that people are willing to fork over extra cash so they're gleefully taking it. They have every right to do so and as a business it's somewhat smart. For those like me that get irritated by what we perceive to be double dipping however, it gradually starts cutting the wick shorter each time.
