Yeah, I think anything that Animal Control can't id right away qualifies as exotic. Though it looks like they might make a good pet. You know when not owned by idiots who let them wander the neighborhood hunting pets...
Wild animals are not pets. People like servals because they are "big cats" that are not big enough to eat their owners like tigers and lions. But they are still not domesticated, and the fact is that this makes them clever and wild, likely to escape and hunt domesticated animals, or bite a child and have to be put to sleep.
Servals are currently being cross breed with house cats to create a new breed called Savannahs. One of those babies sells for around $5000. I had thought that most of the people keeping them and doing the breeding had exotic pet liscenses. That would be one reason for the high cost of the kittens. Do a web search on Savannah cats. Or even Servals.
