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
Go ahead and explain how you'd do it better, then. Companies get nontrivial amounts of their businesses from advertising on places like search engines, and Google, cucked out as they are, is still the largest and most well-known.
It's not up to business owners though. Online reviews are a racket. Many small businesses rely completely on Google and Yelp reviews because they are not in a space where additional marketing is cost effective or makes any sense.

To which they likely have never explored, or have thought real marketing is too expensive.
