I think most would agree it's unfair and dumb that who hits who has such an effect on what hits get talked about. That said, I doubt it affects people's opinions much, it's just that they pay more attention when stars are involved.
It's also reminiscent of how actual laws change. Quite often it takes a high-profile case or few to get the attention needed to change anything, or to have a necessary discussion. I don't think it's a particularly great system, but it's very human and I don't think it will ever change.
