Can someone help me with this? I had a low utilization since pandemic, I.e., ~sub 5%, but never missed any payments. Would credit score be impacted if only one line of credit with a low utilization?

Too few accounts currently paid as agreed
FICO®

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.

It seems like a scam to pressure people to open more accounts, almost as if credit score is a measure of how profitable you are as a consumer rather than a good credit risk 🤔

Credit scores are a scam. My score dropped 20 points when I paid off my car loan because I no longer had a loan 🤦‍♂️. So yes, they like to see multiple lines of credit as well as low utilization of that credit. The low utilization will help you but opening another credit card or two, even if you never use them, will help increase your total credit and number of credit lines which will increase your score in the long run.

Either you missed a payment or they’re singing you for “insufficient volume” to build a history. If an old card fell off, that could ding you
