General Quality of Life problems with Aetherial and Collectible Gathering

Actually, you get less even if you go twice as often, because similar 2.x unspoiled nodes gave 3+ materials a hit instead of 1.

If you're using +2 yield, you get 15 + 15 = 30 per hour as opposed to the 25/hour of 2.X nodes. And I was assuming 3h nodes would've still given 1/hit, since HW seems to be all about reducing supply.

You are correct. I was comparing them without the +2 yield (which I always use anyway, so it wasn't a good comparison). I guess it just feels stingy because it's 5:1 (adamantite) vs. 3:1 (darksteel), meaning you only get 6 adamantite to 8+ darksteel over the same time frame.
