You ignored the fact that other gold sinks will not be removed.
You ignored the fact that normally Blizzard announce what they will remove (when they don’t they end up contradicting themselves a patch or expansion later like they did with plagued protodrake achievement) so is not a valid reason.
You ignored the fact that you can earn this gold at any given time so there is no need to remove this mount if only people willing to earn this much gold for a mount will get it.
You still ignore that fact that thousands exploited broken systems in WoD and Legion that allowed them to make millions of gold with ease < which creates a problem with what you claim, those people put little effort because they were lucky to exploit those systems at the right time, they put not 1/1000 of the effort that goblins use playing the AH or doing daily farms. There is no suck thing as “prestigious” for a lot of people who got it, unlike people who do pvp for pvp mounts.
It is prestigious to login and earn a pet or mount for free that other people in 4 years in the future will not be able to earn?
Most people was not present by WoD expansion or even Legion. So why introduce a new unique model just for those and give little to no chance to newcomers? Newcomers in Shadowlands will be able to EARN the 3M gold spider, why not the 5M gold dino? It is not prestigiousness, is just artificial scarcity.
