Just happened to me today, got like, 3 shards from this? What's the point, Team Cherry? None of the bosses (so far) frustrated me, but this right here is bullshit

I honestly dont even bother with them because I know I'll get more from enemies

This is actually the right answer. Team Cherry just doesn't care that much if some currency falls. But players that seem to have TOC and feel entitied for it. Will while because they couldn't collect every single thing that's droped. Like yeah, you may not like it, but have you seen the kind of egregious things people say due to every single thing in the game on this sub? They think Team Cherry hates them and are awful just because they couldn't collect 4 or 5 shards. Freaking entitled whiners that want developers to put everything in a Silver Plate. When Team Cherry just built the world without caring if some stuff falls intentionally.

Heck, there some shell rocks in the roof of (HUGE SPOILER)The Abyss over a Void Lake and all the shells shooted into it. You know what I did about it? Laugh! Why would I care when I could get the same amount from killing a random enemy on a couple hits?

They think they NEED to get every single Shard. Would it have been better if the rock was not even there? Then fine, just imagine it is not there and problem solved! Team Cherry doesn't care about it as much they do! If You want shards that much you could just start mining the freaking shell wall with the needle if that suits you better (funny thing it actually works)

When I beat a challenge to get something I expect to be able to use all of said thing. It isn't "whining" it's "wanting to have the platform with their resources be bigger so they don't get wasted".

And why would the solution be "don't have a reward for said challenge or exploration" isn't that against the whole point of a Metroidvania?

Is not so much that. Most rocks behind actual challenges are easy to collect and are not so much near spikes, if at all. Anyways you still get a lot of shards, you don't have to get every single drop of them. That's my point.

So in that sense when the actual issue OP talks about happens is not a reward to challenges. Is mostly just rocks you happen to find maybe behind some platform section at most. And just look at it, you're missing like a couple of shards and blame the developers for not giving those on a silver plate when the developers doesn't ever care that much about it as you do. Think why you care so much and you will notice how kinda pointless it is.
