Jockey mobs dropping saddles

Saddles, a not very but still somewhat crucial part of the game. The only way you can ride mobs such as a horse if you need to travel thousands of blocks away at a faster pace. But there's just one problem, you can only obtain saddles via naturally generated chests, fishing, Villager trading, or a Strider/Ravager that spawns with one. Why? Out of all items, why must saddles be so rare? If they have to remain uncraftable, why not implement easier methods to obtain them? Here's my idea: Making Jockey mobs have the same chance of dropping a saddle as any other mob has of dropping the armor they might be wearing + also adding the saddle texture on top of the mob they're riding. It just makes sense.
