I don't want this to come across as merely complaining but, why was the fabrication success rate lowered?

It wasn't. In fact, our base MTTH (months = 240) is lower than vanilla's (months = 360).

It does, however, have more factors affecting the success rate than vanilla does. You chancellors opinion of you has an impact, as does his Diplomacy and a variety of his traits. Ultimately, however, it's down the RNG. Lots of people plunk their chancellor down to fabricate a claim, and if it doesn't happen soon enough they come to the forum and complain that it's our fault. I guarantee you, however, that we could restore the vanilla version exactly as-is and it would be the same.

Yeah...the randomness makes it hard to gauge. I managed to snag the highest diplo man in the world (32ish points), he liked me 100% and he still spent 25 years converting one county and soon after he started talking to Satan and lost 30 points. Replaced him with a eunuch with "only" 24 d-points and the man fabricated 4 claims in 5 years. Had to take out a loan just to cover all of the bribes.

*shrugs*

Stories like that are why I love this game.
 
I've already said this before, but based on experience, RNG in CK2 is a bit weird. It seems to be biased on a case by case basis.

You'll notice this when in one session every plot takes years to realize, and in the next, under the same conditions, every plot is executed within 3 months.
I guess, on average, that works.
