It's always been ad-hoc. Agents are not supposed to give out information about waitlist position. So many will tell you they don't have access to it. They do. Sometimes they will lie about your position or just give a vague hopeful response ("you're right at the top of the list!"). I stopped asking years ago.
Like you, I stopped asking for the reason you stated but the weird thing about my agent is that she volunteered to look at the waitlist and that never happened to me in the past
