Yes, it can be a problem and I agree more context like median or a full histogram should be more common, but I have never seen anyone claim that the average was 2 in your example.

While the average value was 3.4, I don't think it would be unfair to suggest the average person would have scored a 2 (or whatever the relevant scenario is).
