It's like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there's no excuse.

You can have actual concerns without abusing the review function, though. If you don't own and never planned to play the game and are "reviewing" it because something on the internet made you angry, then that just discredits the actual review platform as a whole.

Reviews should be an actual review, not a tweet reply. If you haven't actually played the game, don't review it.

Sure - problem is that publishers are not making that distinction and calling any mass negative review (like a bad release, or game crashing bug) "review bombing".
