Well you can thank Mr. Asmongold for that one. He is the one that took "mount collecting" from a niche thing some of us did for fun in the game into a competitive sport where you had to have every single possible mount to win "mount offs" and be able to pull obscure random and/or rare ones on your opponent.
It was literally one of the reasons he got big, because he kept going viral for winning "mount offs" until people started watching him to see the guy behind it.
Its the reason why WoW started having to have 100+ new mounts per expansion, with them being awarded for every rep, every obscure thing, and having a dozen new ones to grind. So guys like him could feel "epic and better than you" for having a Green Recolor of a common mount.
Learning about the “mount” meta was shocking. I honestly can’t fathom caring about that shit even a little bit.
