This, really.
I personally think adventurers getting their chocobos from Grand Companies speaks more to the sort of training that GC chocobos probably got, compared to the average run-of-the-mill riding chocobos. We do, after all, routinely ride our chocobos through the midst of extremely hostile groups of creatures who are often extremely motivated to stop us. Our GC chocobos don't blink an eye, they just trust us and power on through. They're likely to be the equivalent of the highly trained cavalry horses of a hundred years ago (or more). Chocobos in general? Pretty cheap, as Liadan says. Our chocobos, on the other hand, are pretty damn special.
