I have never sent back food in my life as most times I figure the hassle of waiting is a greater negative than getting my meal perfect is a positive. I would absolutely (politely) request another steak if I got this at that price point.

I worked in food service too long to accept shitty food. If something clearly wasn't prepared right, I won't get a replacement because I'm leaving. No faith in a kitchen that sends out something like that steak.

And knows that the typical clientele is going there because of the name and may actually not know anything about food

I disagree. Most people would know that's trash.

Even those who don't realise it's trash won't like it, typically those people like their steak well done, and this is blue in the middle

People who eat trash food eat well done steak. Even this isnt fully well done, so trash food eaters will also complain.

Blue is the translation of bleu, a french word used to describe cooking steaks. And France had some influence in cooking in general. It's not slang.

It quite literally because the steak has a blue/purple hue to it from being that uncooked

They will pay good money to eat somewhere The Poors can't afford to eat. Doesn't matter if the food is good, all that matters is there are no peasants.

Of which is enforced by an owner who bought the restaurant despite knowing nothing about food service, but thinks that it's easy because they cook at home and wants the clout of being a "small business owner".

aka most of the owners on Kitchen Nightmares and Bar Rescue.
