It's not a stupid format.
Think of the Tour Championship like a Sunday. The tournament lasts all year and the championship is Sunday. Johnson earned the lead, and if anyone else wanted to catch him they had to outscore him. If you are the best player Thursday through Saturday, you have a lead going into Sunday. And you don't have to have the lowest score on Sunday in order to be the victor.
Also, just saying that Schauffele had a lower score is also misleading from the perspective that Johnson had a lead and was trying to make pars and not make mistakes, while Schauffele was trying to make birdies.
Taking stats out of context is pretty pointless.
