if we end up using star ratings, the median average is preferable to the mean average, as we don't have to deal with some of these problems

So you'd prefer giving the not-working Tornado Gaurd 5 stars instead of 4. Doesn't really solve the problem, only worsens it.

oh, sorry, understood the wrong problem

but let's ignore the tornado guard part of this and act like this is a map

Even then the difference between the median and the mean average isn't very big so I don't see what problem it can solve?

It can help in some cases, but not much

I'm pretty sure if one used the median it would almost always be either 1 or 5, since most ratings are either 1 or 5.
