Yes, I did notice that in your poll, and not everyone is gonna find your poll answers funny. In some rarer cases, because might mistake you for a bad troll or something.
Compared to any other biome, mushroom biomes are insanely unique in comparison and would kinda drop in value if their rarity was decreased. Finding a biome that damn rare makes the find that much more satisfying. I know Minecraft isn't dripping with realism, but a mushroom biome is the most "out there" biome (figuratively and literally), so making them more common just spoils that.
It's kinda like finding a shiny Pokémon. It doesn't happen to you often, but once it does, it's one magical feeling.
However you are right they spawn too little. Ive never found one either. Most multiplayer servers have a cut off for the world to prevent it from getting too big, and ive never seen one spawn in this border even if its some crazy number like 60k radius from spawn.

They are too rare. And as I have found about them they are boring. One interesting thing is mushroom cow, which you can (ab)use to get infinity or large amounts of mushroom stew...
They also should contain special generated structures, like arena... I see arena as large building made of stone brick. When generated or in darkness, several(4) blazes spawn here. and if you defeat them you can get rods and some loot... Like a stick enchanted with sharpness V (powerful, gosh!)...
However, I don't think they are as rare as most people think. Just go to a smp server with a well filled out dynmap and you can usually spot a bunch.
I like the rarity because if I saw mushroom biomes any more often then it would diminish their significance. I'm fine with their current rarity. I actually found another one just the other day without even trying. I literally found like, a whole freaking mushroom continent.
Why do people even want to find moshroom island?
There are 3 reasons
1: For Mooshrooms -they are the most OP mob in the game.
2: They only want to find one. -It would not be as fun if they were more common.
3: for mycelium -Nearly useless, you need silk touch.
How to find mooshroom island:
1. Go to x 6000 z 0
2. If ocean go to step 3 (if not go to anywhere that is at least 6000 blocks from 0,0 and in ocean).
3. Make max sized map (item).
4. Explore it completely.
5. If no moshroom island go to x 2000 z 6000 and make new map.
6. Repeat untill you find one.
Usually you find one in step 4.
Every time I have tried that I have found one in under 3 hours.
Map is important if you randomly go around ocean it takes much longer time to find one.
