Hahahaha, that's a very interesting perspective.

I think this sums it up quite well. Also, Eva's well-written response shares exactly the same perception that I do of the matter. I won't ever try to dissuade people from their choices unless they're in my own community and I think something really doesn't fit(and only then, if I feel I am close enough to them to safely make such a remark) but it's their lack of place in Eorzea that impacts my own enjoyment.
Riding a Behemoth or Reaper around the world as though it were natural just doesn't make sense in my eyes. Where is it supposed to stay? What are onlookers supposed to make of it? At the very, very least it would surely terrify people and that would get one into trouble not with the mere authorities, but the officials of an actual Grand Company or two.
In Lili's example where the Behemoth is restricted to Coerthas and therefore(I'm assuming) only used for traversing the difficult and harsh terrain out there, then it seems more acceptable. There's a lot of unoccupied territory out there so there shouldn't be a great deal of panic even if it happens long numerous civilians/soldiers.
It's not about imposing one's views on anyone else. It's simply a differing opinion on what seems right and lore-friendly. For 90%+ of those kinds of item descriptions, I don't personally think you're honestly supposed to take it seriously. It's just a fluff-born plug to give non-RP'ers any explanation for why the mount even exists.
For example(MSQ 2.0 spoiler):
Emphasis on personal opinion!
