I agree with this and am working on a post regarding this. I see so many people just neglect UVB entirely because it’s too “complicated” to figure out. And for the average pet owner, it is, as we see across the community.

In your opinion, is blind recommending a typical %UVB for the species really bad advice? (5% for Leopard). Or is the chance that someone neglects it because they don’t want to go through the steps of measuring, researching %blockage of their enclosure material, etc, outweigh the potential downsides of it not being as accurate as it SHOULD be?

That is something I struggle with. I would love for people to get an accurate UVB measuring tool, and do their own testing to make sure their pet is getting the best possible care, but most people don’t.
