"I'm also not sure how long players will tolerate the problems without clear communication from the developer stating what they plan to do and when."

Can't +1 XP this comment enough.

The technical issues with cheating, smurfs, and matchmaking are things I feel like EA/Respawn should be able to address. The lack of public communication makes me suspect that they just don't care.

TBH, these issues may kill free to play model for PvP games because if you want to sustain it you have to fund methods of fighting them and selling $60 skins ain't gonna cut it. Ban waves only happen of you pay a team to do it and give them good tools to do it effectively. None of these things seem to be in place at EA/Respawn anymore (if they ever were), so this is what you get.

@HappyHourSumwur I agree free to play is an issue and would gladly pay for a game if it meant less cheating and more banning. The issue is COD isn't free to play and it has a lot of cheating.
