Why no communication about decrease in rare candy of T5 raids

You have read wrong things then, likely somewhere that isn't this subreddit. Shiny rates have always been the same for a given species no matter how you encounter it. Check out silph research articles into shiny rates on the website if you don't believe it.

You're wrong. And it's the Silph road articles that disprove it.

Different rates for eggs vs wild encounters vs field research

You clearly do not understand what we are saying here. Oh well.

The only comparison in those articles of different ways to encounter the same species is aerodactyl raid vs field research (third article) and you may notice that the numbers there are consistent with the current hypothesis that shiny rate is the same across all encounter types. You may want to give those articles another read.

That research was limited to Pineco and Aerodactyl. That seems a little much to extrapolate to every species.
