My thoughts on this go to console and ultimately mobile influences, bare with me. Match Making is a console influences, computer FPS games had a server list with some players having their own servers of the game, sometimes running mods.

Match Making connects you to a group of other ranked players to ensure a better experience, because comfort is the goal. This is key to understand.

Windows FPS games had no such thing, you could own noobs and get owned by much better players, repeatedly. Forcing a disconnect when they have you cornered somehow and no way out of the spawn deaths, that is what i mean. I prefer this kind of online competition and still find it on Day of Defeat: Source - Gun Game Mod.

The mobile influence comes in with paid items or other monetary gimmicks often found in the mobile world but have crept into every other part of 'gaming'. It's gross and awful.

I like Windows FPS games, like the one I mentioned above. New maps and mods are still made for it. Did you hear EPIC is planning to do paid mods? (there is a rumor going around).

These are bad influences in Windows games.
