For me it's mostly the promise. When SE says "Hey get this Goobbue mount before patch 1.23a because you'll never be able to get it after that" then that's what I'm going to expect. If they hadn't said that then I probably wouldn't expect it to be exclusive forever.

I can't think of any fancy 1.0 items that were never stated to be exclusive so I can't really give an example like "see, I don't care about that thing being available because they never made me think it wouldn't be". But there is stuff like the chocobo mask that was an achievement reward which were stated as unobtainable, but then they made the racing chocobo mask and I don't remember anyone being mad about that.
