Its simple.

It is because most of us base our knowledge of the 100% scale on what we were accustomed to in grade school.

Actually, it's because most reviewers rate on only half the scale, between 5 and 10, except for extreme cases. So a 7/10 is actually a 4/10 if you were to scale things more appropriately.
