The big "issue" with SAT scores is that it's the best predictor of college success. That's why it's used.
The problem is that about 50% of the people in college today are not college material. College is supposed to be difficult, it's meant for the top 10-20% of IQ. It's meant to be exclusive. Unfortunately with colleges being big business with huge overheads, they need more kids to be sustainable.
A liberal arts degree used to mean something 40+ years ago because you had to study a wide variety of disciplines, mathematics, science, literature, philosophy, economics. Today, unless it's in a handful of majors, it's grades 13-16, leaving student in debt with no marketable skills.
