I love the implication here that there is a fantasy setting full of people advocating for dragon mounts, saying all sorts of things like "you get so much more weight carried per unit dragon!" And "They last for so long that we'll be sorted for hundreds, if not thousands of years!!"
Meanwhile the CEOs of Big Equine are returning with things like "But dragos are incredibly dangerous and unstable, not to mention far more expensive to maintain" and "Dragons can also be weaponised to cause horrific destruction! We can't risk other nations unlocking dragon power"
