I suspect that we are more likely to discover/name/hear about variants with more dangerous effects more quickly than those without, so that may affect the odds. What definition of variant are we using? There are plenty of unnamed variants, but if we are looking specifically at those given names by the WHO, that greatly increases the chance that they are the worst of the worst.
