"New Phenomenon: Longtime Players Burning Out Due To Low Shiny Rate for New Shinies?"

#PokemonGO: This hasn’t affected me as much personally but I know a significant number of longtime players who are taking a break for the same reason: recent events that introduced new shinies (fighting event, equinox event, now bug event) boosted the rate these Pokémon spawned but did not boost the rate (even slightly) at which they were shiny. This appears contrary to how most new shinies have been introduced in the recent/medium term past. It has resulted in people grinding for many many hours without getting a shiny machop/solrock/scyther. It has been deeply frustrating and has burned these people out.Again, this hasn’t had this type of impact on me, but I’ve seen it in enough people that I am wondering if other people have seen this as well. Comments that people should grind harder or that shinies shouldn’t be easy to get aren’t what I’m looking for. This is a subjective reality for players I know who spend big money on the game and it seems potentially problematic. I am simply wondering whether others have anecdotally seen the same thing.
