"Which facts is this based on? Maybe it's just more of an opinion?"
Facts? No single player in this game has any large-scale pool of facts to draw on, only their own personal experience, and possibly a sense of larger patterns that you get if you frequent the forums or reddit. Although in either of those places you're likely only to get a sense of discontent as so very few people ever bother to paper the internet with happiness or praise.
In the mean time, if you have a better theory to explain your experience then put it out there. Your experience isn't unique to you and the rest of us who share it would love to hear if there is some force at work other than a matchmaking algorithm that "balances" matches by putting high- and low-skilled solo players on the same team.
"You don't have to answer the question if you don't know btw."
Pretty sure the only person on earth who "knows" is a coder in the bowels of Respawn Entertainment Inc. So why not aimlessly speculate?
Happy Thanksgiving!

@reconzero My solo queue experience is consistent with what @Half-Injured is saying, although I play pubs and not ranked.
I get teammates worse than me and put up against enemies better than me ALL THE TIME. The matchmaking takes forever to drop you down a lobby when you are getting murdered and immediately bumps you up a lobby when you do relatively well.
Has been this way since I started playing season 8 but has gotten really bad the last 3 seasons or so.

@HappyHourSumwur I agree. Today I have the exact same experience. I'm teaming up with two guys in ranked. We get a lobby where teams don't meet anyone until 5 teams are left and we get 2nd place.
Then we get a lobby where we die to the first team we meet.
Then the exact same thing happens. 5 teams are left, we get 2nd place.
Surely the lobbies will be different every time when there in fact are an incredible amount of possibilites. But instead the game is repetetive in a way that is not predictable. Which makes it hard to master.
