Are brilliant moves all that possible anymore?

Since brilliant moves are changed to Best moves after they've entered the database, Brilliant moves are getting less and less possible. I haven't gotten a Brilliant since my only one when I first started on chess.com at the beginning of the pandemic. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone who normally gets Brilliants every so often has noticed the odds of getting one decrease. I know they changed the way brilliants work, whenever they did that, but other than that? How long until brilliants just aren't really a thing anymore since the computer has picked up on them? I know there's like a bazillion variations of chess but there can't be that many possibilities of moves to register as a brilliant move. Anyone else feel this way??

I find i get them alot more often now then 6 months or so ago. Think i had 2 or 3 just in 1 game. If you make any reasonable sac you will get a "brilliant move" for it. Also it seems like all the "great move" are only move situations

Brilliant moves are sacrifices that are best or good. It's somewhat dependant on rating, so simple sacrifices won't be brilliant for higher rated players though.
