The rate of getting a UV is

The rate of getting a UV is estimated at around 10%

The chances of 30 consecutive crafts having no UVs at all is roughly 1 in 24.

You just got unlucky this time.

It's closer to 4 out of 100

It's closer to 4 out of 100 if my rusty statistics is correct. (0.9^30)

It came out to a probability

It came out to a probability of 0.04239, which comes out to 1-in-23.59 odds (just get the reciprocal of 0.04239). I rounded that to the nearest integer for clarity.

Those odds are low, but certainly not low enough for this to be considered a freak occurrence.

I always thought the UV

I always thought the UV crafting rate was more like 20% or so, but that's purely personal experience and shouldn't be relied on (sample size of about 60)

Seems like I'm very unlucky

Seems like I'm very unlucky lately then, just needed 28 crafts before I can get 1 UV. Or I'm missing something here?
