I don't think they implement it to provide even or competitive playing fields. There's just too many factors to say these theoretically equal players are going to have a competitive match. You take away having a "less skilled" player having a play style that has a "higher skilled" players number that makes matches feel more organic and unique and less a turn based win screen.

The only real way I can see matchmaking working as that is intended is taking your skill balanced players, throwing ping out the window and and compensating blowouts through live stat manipulation and handicapping so your target player gets a narrow win and hopefully buys some stuff at the store.
