Why do people suggest the BBB?

It is my understanding that the BBB or better business bureau is not a government agency, they hold absolutely no power to do anything to any business when it comes to choices they have made. They are basically an early version of Yelp, where businesses could pay to be a part of thier reccomended businesses list, and consumers could file complaints that could then be seen by anyone curious. But beyond that they are useless. They can't get you your job back, they won't help you take your employer to court, they won't cover your bills if you're wrongly terminated. And not a single modern consumer even bothers checking them before making a purchase. Hell a bad Google review has more power then the BBB. At least this is my understanding. If I'm wrong I am totally open to learning and I don't mean this post as a put down…
