As I recall it's Hermione making that statement of
rarity based on something she's read. It's entirely
within the realm of reason to assume many who work out
the mechanics of the transformation may want to keep
it a secret and take their chances on being found out.
Rita and the map makers had reasons for keeping it
quiet as would I if I had the ability. Having everyone
know you can kind of negates the benefits in my opinion.
