Shouldn't "Noble Mount" be a higher-tier version of war mounbts?

Not sure if this is a bug/glitch, or designed this way... but frankly speaking I can't find any internal/external/lore/historical reason to believe the "noble mount" horse-tier, is something that's separate from war mount, and therefore, cannot be used for cavalry upgrades.

For example, the "Destrier" is a type of horse that is practically SYNONYMOUS to "war horse" in actual Medieval times. Literally, the first paragraph of Wikipedia article on "Destrier" states:

​

"The destrier is the best-known war horse of the Middle Ages. It carried knights in battles, tournaments, and jousts. It was described by contemporary sources as the Great Horse, due to its significance."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destrier

​

And yet, classified as a "noble mount", it cannot be used for upgrading cavalry, at all.

This, kinda makes the "noble mount" pointless within the game as once you've acquired a sufficient "noble mount" of your choice, it sees no practical use other than as just an expensive commodity to sell. Yes, it's a good item to earn money quickly since THESE HORSES PILE UP in your inventory, but at the phases in the game where these horses begin to pile up (=continuous large battles), money becomes literally the least of your worries (=already established noble or king with stable income).

Rather, a stable source of war mounts to use for cavalry upgrades is more needed for most players.

​

It's very difficult to see that this was a design choice, and I have to wonder if this isn't a bug, where the devs put a higher-tier of horses, and yet simply forgot to adjust the relevant settings for which horses can be used for cavalry upgrades.

​

(ps) When the HECK are the Vlandian knights going to get their horses back from Imperial cataphracts? This also seems to be a bug/glitch/mistake from the devs resulting from re-designating horse types used for units due to new horse-tier/types being added in game.
