You seriously might as well say goals are worth squat because they only tell you one narrow fact about a player without any context.

Without that additional information the chart is useless and misguiding as a comparison tool.
With that additional information you are most likely to notice the chart is useless for comparison because it's not an apples to apples comparison. But hey, at least you're not misguided anymore.
The fact that it's mostly misused is on the other hand a pretty big indication that the"advanced stats" crowd does not have a lot of clues when it comes to actually meaningful use of basic stats, let alone an advanced understanding.
