I think you will find there was a tacit 'agreement' between airlines and ATC a while back NOT to report the extent of w/shear. There were instances where the 'reports' indicated the w/s to be in the 'severe' category and pilots quite correctly declined an approach. The solution was to stop that!

I believe you can still ask for 'pilot reports' from preceding a/c, however, and make your own decisions.
