Alternatively, they make some mounts unable to fly and they're immediately rendered worthless because of it. This is the precise reason they started making them all fly. People complained they had no reason to ever use some of their favourite mounts due to flying always being better. Furthermore, this isn't really an example of laziness but artistic limitation. It would look equally ridiculous for a Hippo or T-Rex to randomly sprout wings. So either they handwave the whole thing with "because aether" or we severely restrict the amount of mount variety.
