That's an excellent question--I'm not 100% what the answer is.
I do think it makes somewhat sense to cbet less from earlier positions as play has gotten more aggressive and IP callers have a bigger "toolbox" these days. They bluff-raise the flop more often and float more often in order to take it away on later streets. They're also more capable of letting you barrel away when they got a monster in certain spots.
Nevertheless, from your stats, you don't play LAG. You play a tight style. So you will have a range advantage on quite a few board textures.
If you cbet just one-third of the time, you're probably cbetting only when you hit the flop. That's playing your hand a bit too face-up for my understanding. I guess my take may be wrong and you cbet so little because you check tons of made hands for balancing purposes. But if that's the case, I'm somewhat skeptical of how you construct your flop check and bet ranges.
And besides, you cbet a lot more from later pos and OOP players have gotten a lot more aggressive as well. You see OOP players do stuff like x/r or leading turn more often than in the old days. So it's not like you can get away cbetting always and everywhere when you have the BTN, either.
tl;dr IDK the exact answer to your question but I strongly suspect you're cbetting not frequently enough when you're the aggressor from the blinds or EP.
