You could argue that SRing is easier since you don't have to concentrate that much and just look at your screen every few seconds, the rest is muscle memory.
Meanwhile in LGPE you have to stare at the fucking screen constantly to not miss the shiny. It's way harder to do something else in the meantime since you have to stare at the screen most of the time. Also, since in most big areas Pokemon spawn off-screen, standing in one spot won't do the job. You have to move around.
Where the fuck is this "standing in one spot" meme even coming from? That only works in very claustrophobic areas like that patch of grass south of Pallet Town, but definitely not on water routes, caves and big areas like Viridian Forest.
Sure, the shiny spawn rate is much higher and you can get your shinies way quicker than in the older games, but you also have to actually play the game instead of just softresetting over and over. Even if that gameplay consists of walking around and paying attention.
