In theory, this trope is an aversion of Prehistoric Monster, since it presents dinosaurs as simply another class of animals. What if we found a use for dinosaurs? Wouldn't it be cool if dinosaurs were kept as pets, mounts, or beasts of burden? This trope is another way of imagining what that interaction might look like. But that's not the extent of our interaction with most animals we actually deal with, is it? Most fiction detailing interaction between humans and dinosaurs portrays the relationship as purely antagonistic dinos want to eat us, and we want to not get eaten.
