The implication of "leave a review!" is they want info on quality to improve service; the twist is they don't care about that, just getting information about you for ad targeting.

Reviews are good for convincing other customers that you are a real site and the product is what it says it is.

An ethical company leaves up critical reviews and tries to address the issues their customer faced.

The opposite is a company that only allows good reviews to be published or outright fakes them.

I have worked for both kinds of businesses and I can assure you the ethical businesses care very much about bad customer experiences and use the feedback to improve.
