This is very true. I've often thought that it's odd that every chess engine I've
ever seen evaluates positions in basically the same way, in terms of pawns. I
have quite a few ideas for my chess program that I'm not sure how I would score.
My scores might be completely weird. I have heard of evaluation being different
in other games, where a ratio of scores is computed, and if the score approaches
0, that's good for one side, and if it approaches infinity, that's good for the
other side. Never seen anything like that in chess though.
