My friends and I just started a new world on the latest version of 1.16, and we set the generation mode to Large Biomes. We started to notice that we were having a lot of trouble finding ore like iron and gold, and even more trouble finding diamonds. I got really frustrated and started digging out entire chunks, and we discovered that only about 1/2 of the chunks even had diamonds spawned in them! Is this a new thing for Large Biomes? Or does Large Biomes make ore more spread out in general?
For an example of this, use seed -597086656834133 with Large Biomes enabled. You'll spawn on an island. We dug out most of the underground of that island and didn't find diamonds in half of the chunks.

From what we found there weren't extra diamond veins in adjacent chunks.
