Got it, and considering every American believes themselves to be some temporarily embarrassed millionaire, they extrapolate that to mean ME, they want ME to have a social credit score!

It's not even that, they have no idea about it being for businesses. They just imagine the 1984 stasi assigning every individual citizen a numeric value that represents how the government judges them and then rewarding or penalizing them accordingly. It's seriously just a myth that people believe because "some guy said so" is all they need to believe something bad about China.
