We are not transitioning to mount_t from unconfined_t because it causes lots of other problems such as

mount > ~/mymounts failing etc. This is the type of problems restorecond is designed to fix.

Hmmm..why not create a user_mount_t domain and transition to it from
unconfined_t, and let it write to user home directory types?  While
leaving mount_t alone.  Then you can define a type transition on
user_mount_t etc_t:file etc_runtime_t.  Relying on restorecond for
something that can be easily addressed via a type transition seems
wrong.

You can do that but I would suggest you create a unconfined_mount_t and allow it everything unconfined_t can do. Otherwise we end up with people mounting files in random places or outputting mount >> /var/mounts whatever. I think very few userspace tools should transition, because when they do we end up with lots of bug reports.
