There's just over 700 of 1600 squares been looked in, around 44% rather than a third.
Also the profile of where seekers have been doesn't match Fetch's graphic, because they try to do more of their runs away from the centre when seeking.

"I am not convinced people are playing this to win." I take it from that you you are - which is fair enough - but why should everybody else take the same approach? I strongly suspect that some people are trying to engage with the game by hiding somewhere they hope will last a little while but also give them a fair chance of contributing to the seeking - which also seems reasonable. Each to their own and all that.
ION - it seems that, while typing this, my hiding place in an edge square has been visited. Best start planning a seeker's route for later then

The hiding and seeking is the main game, but i eke mine out to an all month interest by trying to run in as much of next months hide grid, purely as a side game with myself.
I've been found in the last quarter of hiders both months so far... at the bus stop outside my mum's. And haven't done much seeking, i think i maybe found one person last month.

Hide and seek for me is a case of picking random spot to hide - as essentially it’s luck of the draw on where any seekers choose to run as to when you get found - and then when I’m found seeing where I can go to go over any remaining squares. This (as well as WSW) has led to me exploring more paths/routes than I’ve been down before and has been a big part of the real-life fun created by playing an online game with people all around the world.

How did you get that number? I was looking for it but couldn't find it.

People play a game for fun. If I play to win I pick what I hope is a good square and wait and that is pretty non-interactive. I see that it is much more fun to become a seeker and then plan a route to visit as many unvisited squares as possible to flush out hiders. You can only get found once and yet you can find many.
Maybe the gameplay needs to be revisited.

philip, that graph also assumes everyone has their starting point in the centre square. Some people will have their grid offset depending on what is accessible to them.

I've been found but not until day 3 so that's my most successful hide yet (somewhere not central)! I'll be going out to seek later on.
