Yeah, the financial incentives don't line up correctly.

You'd need something like a paid service that's backed by a guarantee (some credit cards basically offer this for the high-end cards; concierge service that will recommend a restaurant (that takes the card, of course) and if you complain to them afterwards they'll make it right or refund the cost).

But for most things people don't even bother - everyone knows gyms are scammy with cancellations and people still sign up, for example.
