The Law of Large Numbers is your "pity timer".
Any artificial "pity timer" would necessarily involve cutting down the base odds so that as your "pity timer" increases, the overall odds stay the same.
Ultimately such a feature would do nothing to the average, but would drastically reduce variance, which has the overall effect of basically killing off "random shinies".
