I know it's been a month since you posted this but I thought I'd reply with something. I have had an active interest in lucid dreaming for about 10 years now myself.
I've never reached such an average of lucid dreams, it would be interesting to see what others might have to say here if they have reached such an average or higher. If I averaged out my lucids, it would average at about one lucid per year, having had no lucids at all in a couple of years, though I'm not especially concerned with metrics.
The thing is, I frequently stop to think about what I'm doing, to think about how I got to where I am, etc. A lot of reflection, to which I add reality checks too. On top of that, I keep myself actively interested in dreaming as a whole. But every time I have been lucid, RCs have been the confirmation, not what actually made me question reality to begin with.
In my case, I feel I do all the right things but my active interests and processes just don't carry over into dreaming, though I think my naturally poor sleep and other physical problems play a part in my general inability to get into lucid dreaming properly. Recently however, I have felt that maybe I'm just not exactly ready for it yet too; my mind has been very pre-occupied with other interests and their own measures of success, which are taking more "ego space" but this doesn't demotivate it me, it just makes me think that I will be able to dream lucidly more, when I'm ready for it, simply put. Just to add, I dislike trying to measure success with lucid dreaming since I feel it affects expectations and so I dislike using "inability" or "lack of success" and so on but I can't think of more neutral terms.
