Probably just the mathematics of the crew bonus. Despite there being few royals, you can get a pretty good haul with enough treasures and crates.

I haven't specifically noticed a difference, because I don't really know how many royals I used to get, because I didn't go after the big ships without a crew or better boat. I did, however, think to myself just last week that the royals seem so few and far between. If it had been like that forever, I think I would have noticed sooner.
