Do people in the EA space take the data from all these post-event surveys very seriously?

Having done various EA-related events for a year or so, I am struck by how often this is followed by a quick survey. I've been asked to rate my satisfaction after online events, physical events (via Swapcard), coaching sessions, etc.
 

Personally, I tend to zoom through these survey questions. Most of the people and events in this space are pretty pleasant and don't leave me in a bad mood. Therefore, I am quite biased toward quickly giving high marks (4/5/satisfied/highly satisfied/etc) just so that I can get on with my day.  

I don't believe I am the only one. 

My assertions: 
1. Most people are filling out these survey like me: very quickly, very half-heartedly, and with minimal thinking. 

2. As such, they probably don't mean much.  Maybe we should stop it with the: "our event was rated 4.67883/5." 

Maybe (and I'm just throwing out an idea), it is similar to other fields where people obsess about numbers. In academia, for example, many of the metrics used to determine if work is important or good are just bullshit - for e.g judging the quality of a scientist based on the impact factor of the journal where their work is published. 
We all know it but we've all agreed this is best for all of us to not do anything about it. (Other than complain  about it, in hushed tones,  after a few beers in the hotel bar at a conference. )
