Why can't you get the last seal? Or do you mean you can't get three different seals? I'll mention two things here. The first is it is so rare for me to not get three different seals by the time divination is up. The second is in those rare instances I have to settle with two different seals, i just do it. The difference between two and three seal buffs are not significant enough to hold onto divination in the majority of content.

You're not really fishing for anything with the new system, or at the least it's been reduced as fishing for balance was something like a 17% chance, while the chance for your desired seal is 33%. My math is not the best all, but I'm pretty sure that speaks for itself about which system has you fishing more. The old system simply had more ways to eliminate the rng with spread, redraw, and royal road.

Both royal road and spread are very likely to never return. At least not the way they once were. They might come back with the same name different guise like how minor arcana was changed. Under the new system, I could see royal road doing something like playing the opposite of what's drawn so in the case you draw a melee or ranged card but that respective role is unavailable, the AST can still play the card without penalty.

Basically, they are more likely to nurture the new system before reverting back to the old based on current issues.
