Why doesn't EA/Respawn allow us to see number of Apex Packs opened?

Allegedly you will receive heirloom shards within 500 packs, but there's no way of knowing just how true that is. I feel like I must have opened close to 500, if not more, but still haven't gotten any. It's kinda shady that there is absolutely no way to track this metric, and I feel like it's because it would be revealed just how random its not.  Something tells me that a vast majority of people get the shards in a pack right at or close to 500(assuming that's true), which would prove that its not a random chance, its a calculated system designed to get people to spend money on packs trying to get at least one heirloom, and if they got one early, that could obviously cut into EA's bottom line. So yeah, basically I'm calling you out EA. Show us how many packs we've opened.
