A lot of mechanisms are involved. Culture doesn’t just impact the scores people rate something on, but also how people interpret them which mitigates that effect.
However, the rounding issue is a big deal both in how people rate stuff and how they interpret the scores to the point where small numbers of responses become very arbitrary.

It doesn't mitigate the effect, the combination of the effect on rating and interpretation is the source of the issue, which exists whenever the review reader isn't in the cultural midpoint of the raters.

Further, even without that the more consistent the cultural mix the more consistent the ratings. Anyone can understand a consistent system.
