Has anyone else noticed that the number of chests (all kinds) during Helltide is much less than it was? I am playing seasonal for the most part so I don’t know if Eternal is experiencing the same drop in quantity.
I didn’t notice any change when it comes to the number of chests. What is noticed though is the amount of Steel you get from them is basically half of what it used to be.

What I noticed is the crap that you get in the chests…

Yet still probably three times more than it should be.
Why so?
Sure, this season Bosses are not the main source of Chaos items and Mythics are less useful. Many did less Bosses and the nerf to Boss mats wasn’t really a problem. Next season there is no Chaos gear anymore and regular Ancestral Uniques and Mythics will be required for builds to work/perform.
Because that’s the worst, most boring content in the game and those rewards needs to be spread amongst other content.
No one anywhere says “I wish I could chain Lair Bosses twice as often!”
I agree but when build defining gear almost exclusively drops from Bosses, there is no other choice than chain them. Since Belial was introduced, loot tables are diluted even more with every new season. You often need to kill a Boss many, many times before you get an Ancestral version of the item you need. If you want the GA on a specific affix, a good roll on the main stat, it gets even worse.
Unfortunately, we will have to keep doing Bosses and the nerf to mats is not good news.

I understand your perspective.
But if I don’t have mats, I can’t run bosses and I’m forced to do more interesting content. So … nerf boss mats! I’d rather have worse gear than run Lair Bosses. 
I don’t think the number of chests has decreased. It’s just that with the addition of chaos rifts we get a lot more cinders than in the past
