There are lots of mount 'types' available; Wind Riders, Gryphons, Hippogryph, Drakes, Proto-Drakes, Nether Drakes, Roflcopters, Carpets, Nether Ray, Dragonhawk et cetera, The problem is that people want drakes, not that there are only drakes.
Actually there's about 3x as many ground mounts as there are flying mounts. And of those flying mounts almost half are Drakes.11/28 Add to that fact that 3 of the other flying mount types are the 310% ones and are either insanely difficult to acquire or are no long acquire-able and that you can't acquire mounts from the other faction and that puts drakes right at 11/23 mounts available.
Half of all flying mounts are drakes!
actually if you look up flying mounts area of wowhead, it shows there are 66 flying mounts (2 on the list you cant get/not a mount). There are 25 flying pets with the "drake" in the title, 4 of those are arena gifts to the top .5% (i think it was?) arena players leaving only 21 drakes out of the 66 (bout 1/3) and if it matters 8 of the 21 are the protodrakes.
simply put there are 21 "drake" mounts, 8 being proto-drakes out of the 66 flying mounts out there.
the drakes are rare enough you aren't going to see a group of people running around with the same one all the time, least I haven't.

I just wish they would make a regular flying drake or just the drakes that are easy to get have lvling skill meaning at 225 skill you can fly instead of having to buy 300.

Well, the drake mounts make sense... kind of...
Red = You're apparently helping them by the time you are exalted, why shouldn't they help you fly around in return?
Bronze = You saved a member for the Bronze Dragonflight from death. They should also reward you.
Twilight = You were brave enough to tackle Sarth with all three drakes up. I guess this one was feeling submissive and joined you.
Black = Same as above.
Albino = No back story at all, just a pretty mount for collecting fifty other beasts.
Blue = Same as Black/Twilight.
Azure = Same as Blue/Black/Twilight.
Makes sense to me?
