As far as I knew, mounted combat wasn't added for a variety of reasons.

1. Balance issues
2. Mechanics
3. Animation

Animation is the key here. It was hard as hell for them to just perfect the actual riding animation itself. Now imagine trying to do the same with combat animations and all the possibilities allowed. Just like spears, for all the work required to get it right and acceptable by their standards the payoff really isn't worth it.

For me, something like mounted combat I wouldn't mind paying for. It was never in the actual gameplan itself, and to put all that work in for extra seems like a sensible idea. That is, if they are actually being truthful...
