A quick thought, T4 racial units (tyrants, stormbringers, warbreed) should be mythical because they can benefit from transformations.
While other T4 units (mimics, ironclad, living fog) should not because they'd only benefit from enchantment.
T4 racial stats would be increased to compensate.
This standardization would provide a distinct choice between T4 racial (transform only), T4 monsters (enchant only), or T3 racial (both)
Thoughts ?

Unfortunately there is an annoying conflict of interests with mythic where it's supposed to denote units that don't fit into one role neatly, but instead is used to shut down enhancements for balance purposes.
The Ironclad is a perfect example of a unit that SHOULDN'T be a mythic due to role, because it's very clearly 100% a ranged unit, and was just slapped with the mythic tag to shut down buffing it with ranged enhancements.
But the Mimic is a perfect example of a unit that SHOULD be a mythic by role, because it really doesn't fit into any role. It adopts whatever form it takes, and basically has no distinct characteristics in its base form.

I think what Midas said is the core issue. There's just not a lot of clarity on why a unit is mythic, and it didn't even occur to me that all mythic units don't benefit from enchantments up until now, I've never checked lol.
