Are the devs keeping matchmaking bad on purpose

The non-functional matchmaking is by far the biggest problem in the game. I almost always have fun on both sides when I’m matched with other players of similar skill level. The problem is that so often that doesn’t happen.
Unfortunately I don’t know what can be done to fix the problem. A higher player population would help, but that is currently going in the wrong direction. More priority for accuracy over speed in the matchmaking would also help, but longer queue times could make the player count problem even worse.3 -
I think they're keeping it fast and that's mostly what matters. We'll see what they have in-store for the upcoming changes. At least being able to opt for a more accurate match and wait longer would be nice, but the criteria for what raises you in MMR is too simplistic as is for decent matching to occur anyway.

I played for the first time in over a month with some friends a few days back. In one match we got a brand new killer who had 18 hours on Steam. Then within five matches we got a P100 TTV Ghoul who had over 6300 hours. This is not normal for a PVP game. I just do not understand why anyone thinks these massive gaps in experience and skill are acceptable. What is the point of MMR if it allows scenarios like this? Is there not some sort of middle ground solution to this?

That is insane.

me playing duo with my friend who is still new to the game: first match against a 10,000 hour nurse comp player.
completely made me realize how toast the matchmaking really is

Yeah this kind of thing happens to me all the time. The matchmaking system might as well not exist at all because it’s literally random what skill level you’ll go up against in any given lobby.

Very likely.
DBD matchmaking favors speed rather than accuracy. Largely because anytime they did focus on accuracy streamers with 1000s of hours had long queues.

I will never forget a match where I faced a 3000 hour huntress as a 600 hour player at the time. The only teammate who's hours I could see had 50 but the other two were a Bill with a single perk and a Nea urban evading in basement.
No reasonable system would put that match together, even via backfilling.

Once again, nobody even mentions the fact that it's ESCAPE-based matchmaking, and not skill-based.

Short answer, yes. For many reasons, in my opinion.
