The ratings were particularly low before it went native. I know because I have a Gmail account in Mail.app and didn't use it because of this.

It's one thing not to listen to MG Siegler complain. It's another to excuse everyone else who complains on the App Store. They may not know the reason but they know the effect.

Ratings are far from a scientific way of deducing an app's value.

Strawman. They may not be scientific (statistics is a science, btw), but they are one way we have to infer whether people hate an app or not, which was the topic of this branch of the conversation.
