Not defending anyone, but this is a user's rating system and every one is entitled to his opinion
I agree. in particular because the bias also seem to work the other way round - towards a general "love" relationship.
I find it a bit odd that so many lenses and other gear get a rating of 9 and even 10. Most of us are - hopefully - very happy with our newest acquisition, but to me an 8 would/should be a highly recommended item while inflation in ratings now unfortunately seems to make an 8-rating indicate something nearer to mediocre, which is a shame.
If "everything decent" gets a 9 or 10, how shall we then rate the really good stuff?
I have come to believe that we users should only be given the option to give the sub-ratings and leave it to the software to compute the overall rating.
