The 5 stars of ratatouille might have been an anachronistic shorthand of good quality based more on how so much of what the average person is familiar with is a 5 star rating system (think product reviews on Amazon, app reviews on Google play/app store, driver ratings on Uber etc)
Like, I imagine people have an understanding that Michelin stars are a thing but don’t know what those stars mean other than more stars is more gooder. And to muddle it up even more in the present day a single chef can have more than 3 stars because that chef owns multiple restaurants. (See British shouty chef’s 17 Michelin stars)
Yes, and possibly also so they can’t get sued or have to license the Michelin name somehow if they can point to the fact that their stars are clearly not the same thing.
