Is it truly a feature, or just you overreacting to the bad luck of not getting a new SSR?
I am quite convinced that Nutaku Jewel rate-up is either 1.1x or 2x. It's simply way too common for people to have found one or two Rate Up SSR Himes despite having played for years.

So, premise. Let's say that after a few days (once Grisaia event starts and where DMM boosted Rate Up to 25x) you land on a SSR Hime slot with Jewels, on Nutaku and on DMM. There will be 86 SSR Hime in the pool at that point. Let's say that the newest Rate Up Hime is OP as fuck, and that there are also 10 other newer, power-creeped the fuck out Hime in the pool as well (think of Iris and friends). So then, what is the difference?
On Nutaku, your chances to find a power-creeped one is (2+10)/(86+1) = 12/87 = ~13.7%
On DMM, your chances to find a power-creeped one is (25+10)/(86+24) = 35/110 = ~31.8%
So on DMM, if you land on that 1.8% slot, you're about 2.5x more likely to find something useful. Maybe this will be easier to read:

Code:
Nutaku: 300/(1.8%*13.7%) = ~120833 Jewels per useful Hime
DMM:    300/(1.8%*31.8%) = ~ 52380 Jewels per useful Hime
THAT is no small difference. And it assumes that Rate Up for Nutaku Hime is a whopping 2x which it might honestly not be.

So, here is the devious part. You know all those Limiteds that are coming up? Yeah, those are not staying in the pool. In other words... the "bad" Hime will forever stay in the pool, and the new hotness WILL NOT. So your chances to find good shit in the Gacha will not really go up much anymore. Have fun with that!

I didn't touch on P2W Eidolons, mostly because those are outside of things you can influence. I mean, you can pay thousands of dollars and MAYBE get one, but chances are, you won't. I keep hearing about this certain player who was pissed off at spending 1000 dollars in Gacha and didn't find Cerberus, "only" found one 120% Eidolon. And I'm like... what? Nigger please.

The average cost of finding a RANDOM P2W Eidolon is 4200 dollars (or 420000 Jewels). There are 11 in the pool, so finding a 120% one is 4200 dollars/(4/11) = 11550 dollars. And somebody found one with less than one tenth of that and was UNHAPPY? What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Notice, this is taking several assumptions. One, that real money Gacha has same P2W rates as Jewels do, as our data comes from Jewel rerolls. Two, that 120% Eidolons are not weighted down, which honestly would shock me if true.

I also didn't touch upon Accessory Set Bonus, because well, the grind for that is insane. Is it a massive upgrade? Yes. Have the most hardcore players done it for at least 4 SSRs? Sure. Do I think it's worth mentioning? Not really. To begin with, how do I even classify the eras? I guess "the era of no accessories", followed by "the era of R accessories since AQ4 drops jackshit", followed by "the era of SSR accessories from AQ5", finally ending up in "the 'why did we bother with SSR accessory era when the only thing that matters now is Tiaras?' era"? I... don't think that's particularly interesting, especially when the only real upgrade in there are the Tiaras.
