What is the point of multiple drops of the new Siege btc mount on the same character?

The mount is Siegebreaker something. It's a caprison horse with some barding. The head armor has three spikes on it. I was underwhelmed.
Everything drops from completing HEs. I got them from Encounter completed as well as Great Success.
Calling something a "siege breaker" but having inflict zero damage when it's ridden into a group of bad guys, or not being able to call it out in some kind of conflict seems to be a bit of misrepresentation in my opinion.
When confronted with a mob of baddies, ride it into a mob and have the mount knock everyone in the mob back a little (with a little damage) or press the key to call out the mount and let it reek holy hell on a few bad guys until they sustain a certain amount of damage (the higher the level of the mount the more damage they can inflict/absorb) then it just goes back into the stable.
But having a grey mount or a gold mount and the both fall after 5 consecutive hits and falling after a player sustains the same percentage of damage, has always seemed a bit 'off' to me.
- If a person is riding a grey (common) mount they should fall after 3 consecutive hits or the player sustains damage of 5% of their max.
- If a person is riding a green (uncommon) mount they should fall after 4 consecutive hits or the player sustains 10% of their max damage, and green mounts should increase the player's mounted movement 50%.
- If a person is riding a blue (rare) mount they should fall after 5 consecutive hits or the player sustains 15% of their max damage, and blue mounts should increase the player's mounted movement 80%.
- If a person is riding a purple (epic) mount they should fall after 6 consecutive hits or the player sustains 18% of their max damage,and purple mounts should increase the player's mounted movement 110%.
- If a person is riding a gold (legendary) mount they should fall after 7 consecutive hits or the player sustains 20% of their max damage, and gold mounts should increase the player's mounted movement 140%.
All things being considered equal, a player acquiring a higher level mount should be able to see a little more benefit from it than just an increase in speed...But perhaps that's just me.
Getting the Siegebreaker mount was a nice bonus and I am now using it.
The fast trot is also a nice visual change of pace from the usual gallop.
Couldn't expect much better, really. The Griffon mount is the star offering of the event and they wouldn't undermine that with a free-drop Griffon mount, even if it was of a lower quality.
And I am still eyeing the horse in the event store; If they get writs into the Protector's Packs like the news article says they should be, then I will have numerous extra writs by event's end.
I'm not a real stickler for detail, but a "siegebreaker" mount that trots instead of charging into or up to something, not much of an intimidation factor for something which, by the name at least, should be kind of aggressive and intimidating...
But then maybe it's a stealth siegebreaker mount...
It trots up to an enemy position and while the opponents are all rolling around on the ground laughing at it, it stomps the HAMSTER out of the bad guys ~
