Every question deserves an answer. Doesn't matter if that answer is bad or good.
I wonder that too. What kind of problem may occur when we learn catch rate of pokemons by official sources of Padventures?
Easy.
If we don´t know catch rate but we DO know they all can be caught even with just 1 pokeball used, its all fine.
But if they told us the catchrate of every pokemon and me as X player cant catch Z pokemon, i´m going to complain since its catch rate is (for example) 1% and I tried already 150 times. Maybe you know the same as I do, percents dont stack with each other, its a 1% random with each new attempt but there are kids on the game, what does this mean? There are going to be complains once, and again, anda again and again.
Its the same as many other games and using as an example LEague of Legends, you dont tell everyone how the Elo system works, you just tell them that they are going up or down (same as our +.002% catch rate with 2 great balls).
I am fine without knowing the catch rate since I dont need it. If I want a pokemon I either buy it or try to catch it, I dont care about a random number that will still be random even if I knew it.
