Typically they might rate their book 3.5/5, then round it up to 4 stars. I've seen stuff like that for other genres too, but it's festering in the YA genre specially.
Why do you care so much if other people like things you don't like? Don't read it and move on.

Sturgeon's Rule is that 90% of everything is crap. It's not confined to YA.
