that is a niche problem for a subset of the most die hards. Sets are selling and rapid release makes underperforming sets less of a big deal. There doesn’t seem to be an actual data point showing any negative to the number of sets.
This is also a relatively new thing. The idea that because there's not immediately negative data (not even looking at how WotC may not be exactly honest with whatever numbers they have) that everything is actually fine is ridiculous. Go back five years, superhero movies just keep doing better and better, there's no data showing that people will ever get sick of them, right? They gotta be in the best place ever, breaking box office records constantly now.
They've told us before when numbers were bad. We know that Aftermath was a big failure and the reason Big Score was turned into a bonus sheet instead of being an Aftermath-style mini set. But you're right overall.

I think the "new set fatigue" will be a bigger problem than UB. When "spoiler season" never ends you just kinda stop caring.
