For example, most people find one of my businesses by searching on Google. If my rating drops from a 5.0 to a 4.9, suddenly all my competitors will show up on Google ahead of me, and my business will be fucked and I'd have to close up, my business would be over.
Honestly this sounds like bad ownership. If your entire business is teetering on a single .1 rating then you need to think about your marketing strategy.
I'm agreeing with you, if someone wants to hinge their entire business on a .1 rating of Google they're welcome to. Businesses fail all the time for bad decision making

Thats not how it works
It is how it works. If the only method of advertising you can figure out is Google then sure, go out of business if you lose a .1
wrong.
