This wasn't the reason given by SE and it has no logic to it. If what you're saying is true, they would just turn off gifting period, not only on specific items.

I mean, they're literally telling us the only reason we can't gift mounts, minions, and emotes with the new change is because they're single use. I dunno why people are trying to say it's about anything else when they were pretty clear on why both this and the friends list change was implemented.
