> There I wish games were even more aggressive and exact at matching you to players around your skill level.

PvP involves sandbagging and a variety of fragile gimmick strategies. (Oh, and cheating. For slow enough turn-based games, players can cheat with a separate physical device, which can't be detected.)

The system can't measure skill level accurately against a player base that's actively antagonistic to such measurement, so of course it can't match players well on that basis.

Even abstract games of perfect information, like chess and Go, have this problem online.
