Why are 6* awakening gems still so rare?

Literally ever single resource in the game is becoming easier to get besides 6* awakening gems. 6* shards are getting more common and 5* are getting less and less viable. Are they just going to be purchasable items going forward? How long after 5* heroes were introduced did it take to get 5* gems to be easily accessible?

Kabam has mismanaged 6-stars badly, and it’s taking away from the game experience. The pool is bloated and full of trash champs. Awakening gems basically don’t exist. The small gap between r2 and r3 champs (combined with low sig stone availability) means that 5/65 champs still do lots of heavy lifting for many players, and it detracts from the drive to build a 6-star roster.

I've got a fairly big roster, 5 6* r3s with 3 t5cc in inventory, just haven't wanted to try abyss or 100 act 6. Do have all variants and act 7 100 and literally haven't had a single 6* AG yet. They need to introduce them soon been chasing 6* for so long what is it like 3 years. Would be nice to get 1 a year or something.
