Looks more like "give us 5 stars and you'll get a free something" and this is how users try to get around it
Also, when displaying reviews, often sites display a 5 star review first. After all, the store also wants more sales.
Or, in this case, children thinking "oh, I'll give them a 5 star rating, because they probably won't read bad reviews, but they'll be sure to read the good reviews. But joke's on them, the good review is actually a bad review!" (...however, Google, despite being aware that "sarcasm" has been a thing for millennia, still thinks that star ratings are very serious and factual business.)
