Can someone tell me why this is acceptable in a non-MMO/mobile game?

that's acceptable, we've had 20 years to use staryu and starmie

what's fucking ridiculous is 5% and below encounter rates for new pokemon. Who is that for?

Because there are other areas where staryu are common, go catch them there.

At lest it's not: Here's a new Pokemon in a new region, too bad it only shows up as an SOS buddy to a Pokemon with a 5%-ish encounter rate.

staryu spawns on a beach with like 70% frequency you dip

I think low encounter rates in any game aren't necessary. There is no fun in running around a spot hoping for it to spawn.

You can encounter Staryu in the sand things with Sandygast by the hotel.
