Sure, there could be mounts/cosmetics in Savage (it's already the case with Extreme primals), but still none of this is tied to your main class' progress.
How is that not related to your main class's progress? You need to be geared to do Savage. So if Savage itself doesn't give gear, but requires gear to complete, then you need to gear up your main to use it to do Savage.
