So if the company is not represented in the google directory as a company it's gonna have a lower rating, right?

Yes Google reviews are important regards business listing results. However keep in mind for most of the competitive searches they are now also sponsored results which means no matter how many genuine reviews you have you will not be at the top as these are taken by sponsored local business listings.

I'd say reviews account for up to 20% of ranking factors.

Hi Upzilla. to answer your question Google Maps reviews may not be a direct factor in the traditional SEO algorithm, but they can influence a user's decision to choose one business over another, and positive reviews can enhance the reputation of a business and lead to more clicks and visits. hope it helps

Yep, Genuine review from GMB ( Which holds Keywords) will be considered as a ranking Factor

Genuine GMB reviews are a key factor but it works with all others in conjunction, for instance, knowledge graph, Wikipedia pages, as well as GMB rating as how BART and BERT scores you on satisfying the core customer intent of your users vis-a-vis your competition.
If you ignore the GMB part, you might be doing your business a disservice.

Yes, Google Maps reviews can have an impact on a company's page ranking in Google search results.
Positive reviews that contain relevant keywords related to your business can contribute to the overall relevance of your business listing in search results.
It's important to note that while positive reviews can positively influence search rankings, negative reviews or a lack of reviews may have a neutral or negative impact.

The GMB listing is treated as a separate entity imo

Absolutely! While Google doesn't shout from the rooftops that Maps reviews directly sway search rankings, think of positive reviews as your online cheering section—they won't single-handedly boost your Google standing, but they can definitely draw in more fans and customers, giving your business a friendly nudge in the right direction.
