It's theory time!

hmm...

Well, both the Wubbox and all of the Wublins require other monsters to go from an inactive state to an active state. Also, they all have an element resembling electricity. This implies that they are robots and are separate from normal monsters and ethereals. When they are either hatched or carved (wublins), they do not have the "spark" of life that normal monsters do have. Since they can't get the spark the normal way, they must get it from other monsters. Depending on the ambient conditions (wubbox) and differences in how the monsters work (wublins), they require different monsters. Eggs in a wubbox will not expire because the wubbox already has a certain amount of spark to begin with, but if a wublin does not have the amount of spark it needs to make coins/shards, it does not have enough spark to hold onto the spark it already has permanently. This lack of spark in the wublin also means that it can't be fed, does not have likes, and can't be moved to Gold Island. The unusual way that Wublins are formed means that they are a combination of a lot of elements, possibly all 5. This means that, while they are mostly a normal monster, they are part ethereal. This, combined with the unusual conditions of Wublin Island, allows them to produce either coins or shards randomly. Being a mix of many monsters also means that they can produce different amounts of coins/shards/food and take different amounts of time.
