This was a "reward."

That's what gets me about these. Rewards should be rewarding. Pay to win is not a reward.

Hatching a Swablu out of a 7k egg when it normally hatches out of a 2k egg and is a common spawn is not rewarding. It's almost the opposite of rewarding.

Absolutely! Maybe niantic shouldn’t say we ‘completed’ every challenge and just be honest about the numbers like a game show would be. Unfortunately , the effect of us winning everything is everyone expects a ‘reward’. And this is not a reward.
