I will do the following:
I will calculate the rating according to your system and according to mine. Just for comparison.
And I will use the ^ symbol to denote exponentiation; I think it fits there. I will post everything soon...

So, here are the results:
The basis is:
Number of players = 10, so there are 10 places.
A round-robin tournament with 10 people was taken, meaning everyone played against everyone else.
Also, the initial rating for all 10 is 100.
Here is the calculation:
According to the system proposed by IronAxe:
Player 1 - 3521.67
Player 2 - 2708.07
Player 3 - 2046.14
Player 4 - 1516.91
Player 5 - 1101.43
Player 6 - 780.73
Player 7 - 535.86
Player 8 - 374.87
Player 9 - 197.79
Player 10 - 66.67
According to my system
Player 1 - 200.00
Player 2 - 185.00
Player 3 - 177.33
Player 4 - 171.50
Player 5 - 166.40
Player 6 - 161.67
Player 7 - 157.14
Player 8 - 152.75
Player 9 - 148.44
Player 10 - 144.20
(Comment on my system: 1st place was taken by the player who played 10 games, 10 wins, 0 losses; 2nd place - 10 games, 9 wins, 1 loss, and so on. If a player who took last place did not win a single game, then he is not awarded a rating, but if he won at least one, then the count begins:) )
(Comment on IronAxe's system: Player 10 received a rating lower than the starting one by 43.33 units. Why?)
P.S. I attached my system just to see:)
If we comment on your comments, it turns out that in your example, player 10 DID NOT WIN A SINGLE GAME. Then I have a question for you - why, according to your system, is a rating of 44.20 points added to the starting capital of a player who did not win a single game - out of pity :)? And did you ask him - does he need pity :)? According to my system, he logically went into the negative from his starting capital. IMHO, you initially wanted it that way, in the very first discussions about the rating. I will say even more. If you calculate further according to my system, for example, he played another tournament with the same participants, but only player number 10 took first place there (won all games), and player number 1 took last place (lost all games), and you don't forget to take the players' ratings earned in the first tournament into account in the calculation for the second tournament, then you will probably be even more surprised. Well, and calculate the second tournament according to your system. Then post the tables again with the results of two tournaments. Here, there will really be something to compare. We will carefully look at how the places in the rating table will change according to the results of two tournaments for players number 1 and number 10.
