Hey! In all fairness, she didn't explicitly mention that it was due to the coding or anything technical related that the shops haven't been updated yet. Preparations can mean a lot of things, and I totally understand why you'd want them to be a bit more transparent with what they mean by "preparations" but it's not being fair to them either by automatically assuming that "preparations" mean it's technical.
From my point of view, shop updates will not likely come anytime soon at all. Until at least the game goes through another major update i.e. Kage Treasures.
This is because game developers (especially games that do not receive any monthly subscription from its player base and their only form of revenue is through in-game purchases) would want to keep the game balance in check as much as they can.
By updating the shops right now, would me*most ALL players have access to rare ninjas they would usually not have access to unless they've paid for them and the game balance will be changed very drastically. As much as they would want to please every one of their players, doing so would only make players who have obtained them through monetary means very unhappy and that's gonna affect a huge source of their revenue in future.
So coming from their perspective, i'm guessing the concern lies mainly on the balance of the game currently, and how progressive these updates are. From a business perspective, they will try but it's almost impossible to keep everyone happy and if they were to choose, they are definitely going to choose customers who have the ability to spend.
Ya, this is the sad truth, right now there are "some people" who are willing to spend loads of cash and get rare ninjas via seals treasures.. They (the developers) are more likely to update the shops, even reduce the costs the day this interest diminish, this might take a long time..
