Sigh, I wish there were more PVE modes to rotate through. 

There are 14 events without counting the 3 7-days that get run like once per year.  It’s better than it used to be since they added Cosmic Chaos and Infinite Pursuit.

And (correct me if I'm wrong), both CC & IP both are 4 day events, which they seem to refuse to run in favour of 3 days vs. The Hunt & MR&G 4 day events with a 48 hour sub! Madness!

Actually you have the CC and IP backwards, I think.  They keep running the 3 day versions lately.  The last time they ran the Infinite Pursuit 4 day was 4/25/19 - which may also be the only time they ran it.  For CC, the 4 day was last run 8/1/19.

The Hunt is one that they might still run as a 3 day since it was last run that way on 9/16/19.

It could be that recently they haven't been updating different versions of these events as it makes it slightly easier for planning, and/or they have been focusing on other things like shards etc and it might be simpler to only update one version with rewards vs two.

And the new Doom/Spidey2099 one.

Yes, Lost in Time.  That was in my count of 14, just didn't call it out.  It is the most interesting one they've added due to bringing in a few elements from other events like K-Silly, choosing the Cap/IM boss, and the Balance of Power boost approach in sub 3.
