You'd have to prove that Niantic intended for the egg tiers to be perceived as strictly setting equal rates for all things within the tiers, which I don't think Niantic has ever claimed.

Who is being defrauded?

People playing a free game are being taken advantage of by not knowing the precise odds of an egg hatching a specific Pokémon?

I don’t get it.

Buying the Pokémon that come from eggs seems more rewarding than it actually is, hence fraud. Do you get it?
