They are aware of the problems and trying to fix things.

If you're referring to the square sectors of stars, that is not really fixable. This is apparently how Stellar Forge works, so they can't fix it unless they make an overhaul to Stellar Forge unfortunately.
I think the nerf affects only the sub-surface deposit. The patch note has no reference to laser mining which I presume it didn't change.
That's not a fix, that's a band-aid. That doesn't undo the severe damage already done. They would have to roll back influence levels and factions states to undo the damage.
After the update today my fleet carrier designation name change to a new set of alfa numerics, and according to eddb, the number of fleet carriers in the game went from 4,260 to 282. Having doubts about the eddb data but, quite honestly I am not sure what to think. The closest carrier to me was 7,500 LYs a day ago, now the closest FC is 28,800 LYs away. I got a feeling there's going to be a lot of folks who wake up this morning finding their FC disappeared from the game.
this repeats the madness of the core mining nerf. If Fdev are going to nerf mining, nerf laser mining so the more engaging, higher-skilled mining is insentivised. are Fdev really trying to promote boring gameplay?
Your problem is believing that the PRO was quality in the first place.
It’s such an annoying issue. All the quality features added to the updated PRO seem to be broken. It looks like it’s stuck in the uglier ‘Performance’ mode.

Your statement was they are not fixing the problem. You are incorrect. They are working on it. They probably can't undo what has already happened without upsetting all the factions that have benefited from the issue and more likely, by reverting the BGS back days or weeks (assuming they have that data) would likely have many knock on effects as well.
Best they can do is fix the underlying problem so people can get on with things.
They still didn't fix the bug where all the ships around a warping carrier get to see the light show, but the people on the ferry are stuck in their cars with no windows.
Then they shouldnt have broken it in the first place. They promised after the last two fiasco patches they would do better. They failed, they always fail. I'm just at the breaking point where it's not worth playing a game than destroys everything you do with every patch. Why bother doing it at all?
I understand that, but I was reffering to players mentioning every mining nerf as if it was the end of the world, both on Steam and FD forums. Rediculous. Over-exaggerating could be the right word to describe all of this complaining about these "nerfs" and such.
Overlaps are good, their rarity created a player hotspot which fills the void left by the removal of CGs. The fleet carrier taxis are an interesting new dynamic you wouldn't get without these rare locations.
Game's borked bruh. I cant super-cruise away from my FC. It gets stuck in animation and after a cpl min I get DC'd. On top of that it shows 3 of my FC in the nav panal. AND I saw the option to use SC assist which I do not have installed on the current ship.
EDIT**
after turning the game completely off and back on and then stepping away for about 10min. it seems to have resolved itself.

I've been laser mining an LTD3 area and it looks like it's the same as before the patch - about 150m in 45mins for me and I'm not exactly the most quickest of cats.
The 25% nerf is for sub-surface deposits, not laser mining
