If something like this was implemented, I'd be curious to see if it would be a special item that you get one-of, that passively increases your chances of encountering a shiny, or if it would be something you'd buy in the store (likely in bundles) that would increase your chances for 30mins.
Either way, I'd bet anything that if and when an item like this is implemented, it would be accompanied by a slew of "I got this item and caught X number of [insert Pokemon that could be shiny here] and I still don't have a shiny! Wtf, this item is broken! Pls fix nao Niantic!" posts. 😋
