Exploration zones aren't really expansive enough yet to warrant ground mounts, and the ones that almost are have a very handy network of teleporters to take you exactly where you're going.
STO doesn't work like most MMOs. Cryptic's efforts in making STO have been divided more or less evenly between space and ground combat. As far as I'm aware, this is a pretty unique approach. So what we get is 'exploration zones' that are relatively small and not connected to each other directly, like they would be in most games. You don't have to run across New Romulus to get to Nimbus.
Until they make a huge map it would take awhile to run across, I don't see ground vehicles making an appearance. It's not unthinkable that this could happen in the future,ever since the Defera borg zone they've been dabbling in the concept of spaces for the player to actually putter around in and explore.
But they haven't made a really big enough map yet. Till they do, mounts would be pointless.
That thing didn't even make sense when it was on screen

"No. Men do not roar. Women roar. Then they hurl heavy objects... and claw at you." -Worf, son of Mogh
"A filthy, mangy beast, but in its bony breast beat the heart of a warrior" - "faithful" (...) "but ever-ready to follow the call of the wild." - Martok, about a Targ
"That pig smelled horrid. A sweet-sour, extremely pungent odor. I showered and showered, and it took me a week to get rid of it!" - Robert Justman, appreciating Emmy-Lou
Imaging the marketing to players of those other MMO's - "come to Star trek online where you can get a full pack of Dino mounts/Dino accessories! In addition with in game rewards you can then customize your Dino mounts with all types of powerful upgrades!!"
And the best part "For the low price of 1000 Zen you can get your very own TRANSFORMING Dino companion to aid you out on the battlefield!!
I imagine them dying of laughter, and the ones that somehow manage to survive - dismissing Cryptic as a game designer for eternity as well as ridiculing their friends that play STO (if there are any left) for as long as they live.

Are you trying to suggest that some people might poke fun of players having Dino Mounts and Dino Companions in STO?:(

They are already in the game and can get you from "here" to "There" faster than running...
