Quoted from DarkWizard:

Ok, you win. I changed my mind. I love low scores. In fact, can you make them lower so people are even happier?
Why is it so hard to understand that it might be a good idea to , even though the scores are still totally unrelated, have scores between machines be "similar".

The ludicrous snarky remarks about billions and trillions of points are totally missing "the point".
It has nothing to do with "trophies" and making everyone a winner.
It has to do with success OR failure being relatively easy for people who don't want to get super involved in the hobby to determine between different machines.
Like if I am going 8kph in my Prius or 5mph in my Prius, they are relatively in the same ballpark. Totally unrelated and different, yet easy enough to tell that I am going ridiculously slow on both scales.
It's called a clue, try getting one.

Since you have decided that this should be debated now... The scores are relative. Who cares if they're relatively low? Attack from Mars scores are about 100 times higher than medieval madness scores. You don't see troves of complaints there. As for the "people are even happier" comment above, the poll shows that people are fine with how it is. The only scores you might want to change are the default high scores so it's easier to bunk them out. Luckily you can do all that in the settings. Scoring is a measure for how well you're doing in a game. It's better to have a number than a red and green bar. In this case the numbers are relatively low, although I have broken a million several times and a million seems like a large number to me.
