I suppose the "usefulness" of this whole system is dependent on how much benefit a high score grants someone. If you're not really in a position to be getting loans or good jobs in the first place, then having a high score seems like a fairly moot point, and being low-scoring doesn't necessarily change anything for you.

Basically, if the society this system is implemented in already suffers from a lack of egalitarianism and socio-economic reciprocation for the merit, effort, and talent of an individual, then it's kind of a moot point. Like, it's not good and is another kick in the back but, for many people, what would a low score really matter?
