Other than being one giant wasted potential in general, this is reminiscent of ESO. That game was packed full of expensive mounts (among a million other things) that didn't fit in with the lore of the Second Era whatsoever, though fans of the game will certainly argue that the lore has been so muddied by Zenimax at this point that maybe the Second Era really was packed full of superheroes with glowing eyes, dragon wings and mechanical unicorns.
Prices were also designed so that no matter how many crowns you purchased, you always had some bullshit amount left over that couldn't buy anything of real value, driving you to purchase even more crowns so that your leftovers aren't wasted. I don't think any of them were this expensive, but definitely just as frivolous.
