I thought it wasn't going to be a problem at the beginning, but the past six days I've just been getting OWNED. I get what you said about having fun and not winning at all costs, but there IS fun in getting better, and there is fun in being the best in a match and getting a good KDA. Right now the skill gap is so wide I don't even know how to get better to overcome. Furthermore, not having skill-based matchmaking is not a friendly environment for new New Lights interested in the crucible.
I was really excited about getting a friend of mine into Destiny PVP after we got disappointed with Valorant; even then I was worried that my KDA at the time would make it harder for her to get into the PVP as she is new to the FPS genre. Now there is just no entry point. I cant look out for her in a game, cause i can't even look out for myself.
You could also argue that pairing the really good players against the casual or newer player, is disrespectful to those who earnt their skills through hard work.
There is fun in the challenge of getting to be one of the better players and many people like the challenge.

Bad players dont gain skill with sbmm. They just die less and get more kills against equally bad players, that isnt the same as actually getting better.
