puzzle scoring

Is the new puzzle scoring system fair? I got -24 score for 0/4 at a 2135 rating puzzle, +5 score for 5/5 2012 puzzle with a target time 13s that took me 16s and a +5 score for 5/5 for a 2058 puzzle with a target time of 13s that took me 1.22s. Seems inconsistent at least.

I hate this puzzle rating system. It keeps giving +5 scores to people with 65,000 puzzle rating, for solving 3,000 rated puzzles. E.g. https://www.chess.com/member/josephreidnz/stats/puzzles

We should ask Chess.com if the puzzle rating system is actually Elo based. Cuz AFAIK Elo systems are supposed to give you much less gain if you're already so high above.
People have been complaining about this issue for more than 4 years now, e.g.
