The post you referred to assumed 1-79's rates were 0.8% which is already wrong, and he's responding to a post that has the actual soft pity rates from TW (posted by a TW player who ran the calcs on twitter).
Here's the post again with the actual soft pity rates in the asian servers (you can look up the guys handle on twitter).

Najox is full of shit. According to him, we only have a 0.36% chance of hitting hard pity and a 70% chance of hitting soft pity at 79 pulls, despite multiple people doing it over and over in a row. He's just wrong.

>soft pity is in the game
>it's just so unbelievably shit that you have a high chance of hard pity anyway
Judging from the data from the person who tested it and then asked the question to the devs, the numbers are still so insanely low that it "feels wrong" for it to happen so often, but it looks to be correct
According to this the chance of hitting hard pity is even lower than getting a 5* in one pull.
I started looking into more and more pull videos after this was posted, and yeah soft pity just seems really shit. I've got videos of people in CN hitting soft pity at 79 out of 80 pulls. So it's just unbelievably shit soft pity.

I'm still trying to figure out why they specifically removed the consolidated rates text from the banner details that appears in the other regions.
