Was Google wrong to redo how bars are displayed?

So I think signal seems better since the update but I do have one issue... My bars are showing much higher than before on the same dbm

A little research has confirmed that this was done to standardize the bars display on our phones.

Fine.

The problem is that now 4g bars are less useful than before IMO. I have only had decent signal since the update but I think you should only see full bars when signal is PERFECT.

Does anyone have any insight on this?

Note: I do appreciate that our phones are still among the LTE phones that display signal in Dbm appropriately when we look in our status menus As opposed to a lot of other LTE phones that are showing the 3g dbm even when LTE is active.
 
BTW does anybody know how to fix my PRL back to 15xxx after stupidly reprogramming with *22899 and getting the 52xxx 3g PRL (yes I know dumb)
