Probably because score is the simplest, easiest, and most direct way to measure how one played.
Of course shooting a 90 at Bethpage Black is completely different than shooting the same score at my home course, and I would absolutely caveat / introduce those nuances if they are meaningful (i.e...
It appears that you have a decided bias against entire industries and professions...
I don't belong to the groups you mention above, but that's a bold statement to say that all of them add "questionable at best" value to our country
