I believe they will, it's just a matter of time, but first ArenaNet has to find a way they can make this a big moment in their game and capitalize on it.
This has been a big topic with GW2 since released.
Gw2 regions are too small,the only way Anet can avoid players fron discovering how bad the world was designed it's to make them walking or use teleports and fill every zone with mobs so you keep fighting and grinding and don't mind.
I would like to see mounts, but they didn't design their game for them. They would have to optimize the lag it would cause, because in GW2, there's usually around 50-100+ players in a zerg. It would be even worse in WvW and EotM. They would be best suited for sub-80 zones, where the zergs are minimal.
To be honest though, mounts would be so much better for traveling, because as it is currently, people just switch out their traits and sigils for the speed boosts. It gets annoying having to do that just to travel everywhere.
As for the "we have waypoints!" argument, that doesn't hold anymore. You still have to travel fairly long distances to map out the world on alt characters and discover the waypoints. Not all waypoints are equally distributed around the maps either, so some distances are longer than others.
