What doesn't Shatty have Unshakable?
I suspect the main reason is that he doesn’t particularly move anyway, so control skills are rather superfluous to begin with.
Control skills are decidedly not superfluous on him. A single thief dropping Black Powder at his feet to inflict ticking Blind ailments will stop all of his stomping attacks that should be messing up people in melee range, while simultaneously protecting people who might be standing out in front of him for some reason in danger of being hit by the breath weapon.
At some point, the Great Jungle Wurm in Caledon Forest was adjusted so that even though it didn’t gain Unshakable, it became immune to Blind. The same really should happen to Shatterer as well.
Speaking of blind, removing his huge blind spot would be mighty awesome, too.

Updating his abilities to be more punishing stack ups and have more powerful healing phases…
I rarely do PvP or Hard PvE, unless it’s organized.
I’m waiting on a workover akin to what “they” did to Tequatl.

The OP does have a good point though. I know mechanically bosses like The Shatterer are different from other enemies in the game, but there’s just so much inconsistent design all over the place. If a boss can’t be affected by control skills, he should have unshakeable.
