It's always been 5.0.

So I wondered what I did to deserve the diminution of my reputation by the collective number of drivers assigned to me.

I know what it was, especially since it happened recently.

It was a driver who got hostile because he said I should have told him our private back gate.

It's private property, even the streets, even though it has bog standard municipal infrastructure.

USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc. have no problem understanding it.

Uber drivers, taxi drivers, contract drivers for deliveries-
won't- will. not..

The feel they did their job if they go to where their GPS told them to go, using the route their GPS told them to use.

So this Uber driver (who had been as friendly as could be) became hostile when he drove to the back gate and it was locked.

He lectured me that it was my responsibility to tell him all of this in advance. It was his responsibility to know it in the first place.

I always give 5 stars (or in this case skipped it).

I did give 1 star to an Uber driver who couldn't find the destination, wanted to drop me off at a random location (I refused to get out of the car), told me directions were my responsibility, spotted the drop off at the last minute, and then starting cursing at me.

My policy though is if a person's doing a job and especially something like Uber that barely pays, I will support them with the algorithm.
