Why don't we use the scaling of earthquake magnitudes for some pokemon (Mostly the ones who can use it)

Earthquake magnitude scaling is already weird as is and magnitudes don't even significantly affect the environment which makes no sense since the 32+ Pokemon can learn it, it also doesn't follow how irl magnitudes work. Like a magnitude 10 would completely destroy communities near the epicenter.

The text of the move also refers to it as a "ground-shaking attack" rather then a literal earthquake magnitude.

On top of that too the dozens of lesser feats and objectively higher forms such as gigantamax cancels this out.
