One could make a condenser fork that does this, but only the users that trust the administrator would ever use that website.

There is not actually any good reason that I'm aware of for 'reputation' to be calculated at protocol level. If a condenser created a better reputation methodology that was found by users to be more meaningful, it would become a feature that attracts people to that condenser.
Better reputation calculations are not something any condenser marketing as their 'competitive advantage', as far as I know.

Right now it is a chain level calculation (to the best of my knowledge) based strictly on votes. IMHO a very abusable system. I only see a free downvote pool as making it more abusable.

100% accurate.

There is the @steem-ua project which demonstrates an alternative reputation score calculation that isn't based on votes.
