Why SBMM ''cuts out the middle man''
Here's why: Very good/pro players will generally be better than most players they encounter in every game they load into, meaning sbmm doesn't really affect them as much. Sure they might meet a few ...

in general i dont believe sbmm in public lobbies is the way to go, leave it in ranked.
Well if ranked mode would have SBMM I would play ranked!
But the current ranked mode has nothing to do with skill...
I asked my teammates in normal mode which rank they had, most were platinum players!
Why am I as a silver rank matched against platinum players?
And why are 50% of them playing so awefull terrible?
Current ranked mode makes no sense to me, if you want to go ahead and change it!
But if ranked stays as it is and normal mode gets completely random again, I have no intention to play the game!
I want at least 1 win per evening, not 1 win per week...
In Battlefield or Counterstrike I can freely change the server if the players are to strong for me!
No problem to find a nice one to have fun on.
But here in Apex Legends I have no choice...
So I want the system to make a good choice for me.
Maybe there will be changes to SBMM which make the experience a bit better for good players...
Let's give them some time to improve!

That's completely untrue, there would not be such a low percentage of Apex predators in the game if anyone can just get there. From bronze to platinum you're right, the skill doesn't really differ too much. But from diamond to predator it is much harder.
You want 1 win per evening? In my games i'm lucky to survive fighting 2 teams... If you get better at Apex you're seriously going to change your view on SBMM. I'm decent, but i'm not an Apex predator, i am yet to wipe out a third of the lobby, so i shouldn't be matched with people who can.
If your max kills in one game was say 5, and your max damage is say 1000, is it fair that you're put into games with people who are twice as good as you? (Not saying that's your max kills or damage, just an example).
Also ranked mode does have SBMM, it's in the form of your rank.
