What competitive quality does the game has anyway? You are better and more competitive just because you spend more money on gas and more time on a phone app to have more stardust than anyone else? Just to: park your car, spend 20 minutes tapping your phone screen, dump your 4kcp slaking on your neighbourhood gym.
This has no competitive skill whatsoever, if you give similar chances to everyone, the autists will keep being autists but now the casuals can fight back at least, as a result your playerbase grows and not only that, but everyone is likely to buy more microtransactions on those specific days.
If you think of this game as a casual phone app, which is what it is, all these decisions start to make sense. And you can be sure than in the future, like a year from now or less, you will be able to get again those mons with those moves via raids or something like that.
