Even the "desired" Smalls tended to have 2 bids on it. That was me checking about 2 days before the deadline. I even found a Medium there right by an Aetherite and MB that had 0 bids on it. I then went over to Goblet and looked around. Same thing. In general, the Mediums had 5-8 bidders and the Smalls had 0-3. I even glanced at a few Larges, and they tended to have 8-12, though some had less than the Mediums.

"90% of the time"? That's not remotely true.
You're misunderstanding me. When I said 90% of the time, I meant 90% of the lottery cycles that we've had. Obviously in this recent lottery you'd have low amounts of bids, because square released new wards recently. This time was a remarkable exception. But for the next bidding cycle on balmung we'll probably see 30-40 people bidding on a single plot (lots of people relocated which freed up a few plots here and there), and the week after it'll be back to business as usual with a couple of available plots and triple digits. Perhaps it'll get better now that auto demolition is back, but only time will tell on that front.

But yeah, in the lottery before this one, there were like 2 plots available and triple digits on both. And before that it was the same. And before that it was the same. Balmung's just screwed in general though, not gonna lie.
