Sure, it can lose meaning to you if you are one of those people who values things because others don't have them. But if someone is going to be sacrificed to move the game forward, I'd say people like that are good candidates....
2. No, it loses meaning when everyone has it. By definition, having the striped senche mount would not mean what it does now, if it were able to be gotten a different way. And that meaning means something to me. It doesn't matter if it doesn't to you, because your voice is not the only one that matters.

Since new loyal customers are not any less loyal than old loyal customers I think they should rerun the old loyalty rewards for those of us who had not found the game back then but have been paying regularly for (x amount of time). It's not like that tiger is going to run any slower just because a few more people have it, and it's not like its blue book value will go down either, since, y'know, we can't sell them. There's no good reason not to re-release rewards for something more people are doing. Exclusivity just fosters the attitude of not wanting other people to have nice things too.
The value is in being able to say, hey, I was there from the start. Even when the game had glaring flaws I stuck with it. Loyalty now is NOT like loyalty was then, sorry to say. Take that away, you cheapen that loyalty. Tell me, would you have kept a subscription going with no DLCs, no craft bag, no stealing, no player housing, and so many other things? Did you take the effort to get the game and play from day 1 on PC even though you were going to play on console? Did you pay specific attention to any news about the game because you wanted to get in on the action right away, or did you not, because you wanted to wait until other players worked out the kinks first?
Those players who worked out the kinks for you are the ones you're saying have no more loyalty than you, who might not have even cared about the game without them working from the start to make it better for you.
I want this chicken as a reward
Forgive me if I'm wrong but as far as I know console folks didn't even get the original rewards? Would be nice to have that Dwarwen Sphere at least since that looks like an awesome pet to have and I've been subbed since almost day one...
