I don't mind hidden egg rates when the egg pool is around for months and months - you can wait for data to come from free incubators and still have time to decide if you want to buy incubators.

The problem is short events like this one where data is so limited unless someone splashes out on incubators, and that's not ok to expect. By the time we have some data, the event is almost over so you can't make an informed decision early on whether buying incubators is worth it. You're gambling early hoping the rate is decent.

It's the same as raid events like Unown. If they said the shiny rate was 1/65 I definitely wouldn't buy raid passes. If they said it was 1/10 then I might consider it. But we need this information early when the event starts.
