As layed out elsewhere, 20,000 wu's at most per day is really 29 minutes of distribution. If blocked in say 4-5 sections per day, which it seems this is happening, there'd be 6-7.25 minutes of availability for each distribution blast. Actually reading the logs, it seems the fetches on a block are spread over some 15 minutes. Then it goes dry but for a few repairs and verification units. If you're not there for as long as it takes to brew a when there's some, you'd missed it till it's teatime again.

Now go back to when there was ACAH. The whole project had 33K WU's spread over a number of months. They were dependents on returns of previously computed models, so it was slow as molasses and an endurance game to even get 7 days for silver.

You are correct in theory, but the theory is incorrect. I ran 22 cores for 38 hours with only OET and got nothing. Before that, I pressed Update over 250 times on four machines over 2 days and got 118 WU. 'We aint got time fo dat'.

I understand, that there are some difficulties when starting a new project. But I can't understand, why WCG is then promoting the OET project on twitter like there is nothing else, when there are no WUs available yet!?

They are still going to miss the mark...

They could use some marketing training, no lots of training.

You have to understand how large corporations work. The publicity was planned by the PR department weeks (if not months) ago. They would miss their annual quota for PR releases if they delay it until the project is ready, which could be next year.
