I get the idea Trump generally couldn't be bothered with Pardoning/commuting people who actually deserved it, and generally only does so when there is something in it for him.

Yup, not suprised that Trump isn't interested in making a gesture towards the need for sentencing reform! Epsecially not of people who aren't rich and white.

Barack Obama, whom Mr Trump replaced in 2017, granted 212 pardons and 1,715 commutations - the most since President Harry Truman in the 1940s and 1950s.
President Trump, by contrast, had granted just 28 pardons and 16 commutations as of late November.
