That's fair, but it's not really the fault of MITRE / the CVE database, it's the fact that people have been incentivized to submit these. Similar conversations have come up around how NPM handles vulnerability reports, since they treat all vulnerabilities the same, including very low-risk ones like DoS risks that require control of your build pipeline.
The problem is compounded in cases like Log4j where not even the CVE score can be trusted, or in cases you're describing where end-users don't understand CVE itself and only know it in the context of these 'world-ending' vulnerabilities.
