When it comes to rating products, it seems like there's an expectation to give 5 stars. I guess because there's a sense of not only rating the product, but also the seller - and you'd feel guilty not giving full marks if the product arrived ok and did what it was advertised to do.
In terms of movies/books/games, 4 stars is my default for a piece of media I really enjoyed. 5 stars I'd only give to stuff I believe is near perfect. If I see a book that averages 3.8 to 4 stars online I know it's gonna be great. Anything beyond that is either incredible, or just hasn't had enough reviews yet!
Yeah, in rating media it is common, on products not so much.
