Except it's not the same thing. The druid forms are not conductive to have armor pieces strapped to them. Too bestial, not human-shaped. You're just trying to make a molehill out of a mountain here, considering the sheer number of people who want the dracthyr to be able to show off all their transmog.
In fact, in some ways, the druid situation is
better than the dracthyr, because if one can't see any of their transmog in their alternate forms, that means there's no issue of having your visage transmog combination clashing with your dracthyr's very very
very limited barber shop "armor" choices.
