Nobody cares what your rank in your school is. There's no need to transfer if you're at the bottom.

It affects things still. Professors aren't recommending the kid struggling to pass or even failing the class. The best internship opportunities are generally reserved for better students. You aren't getting any help from a college network when you are clearly struggling. A poor GPA isn't going to prescreen you out of a process most the time, but it will be used against you in multiple candidate scenarios.
