Good post, though with the graphic, I do think this is one of those cases when the y-intercept should start at zero. The graphic does make a 7% difference look like a 3x difference. Same thing for the previous interviewing.io post on whether to list certs on LinkedIn.

And when it is done there should be some sort of visual indication anyway. I was taught to squiggle the bottom of the axis line to show it's non-linear/skipping a bit. You could also rule e.g. every 50, so here starting at 40 you'd notice the uneven rules. (Much like how nobody uses a log scale and then rules only the decades.)
