Also...
"With Niantic also shaming those who have used third-party tracking apps with this new update, there's a danger that it could put off many other players from even bothering."
I'm fairly sure the widespread reaction from most players to a semi-effective update that actually affects cheaters has been positive. Why is this portrayed as possibly bad?

It's been announced both well before the Gym update and right afterwards that the level 35 cap is temporary for testing the new Raid Battles. More people will get access to it, no need to stir it up as everyone else missing out. E.g. the follow-up tweet from the official twitter account: https://twitter.com/PokemonGoApp/status/878064602222780416

This is mentioned in the original article (eurogamer) that is credited too. And the original Nintendolife article on the announcement of Raid Battles too. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/06/pokemon_gos_biggest_update_yet_brings_gym_badges_new_items_and_raid_battles
