Re: I think I'm going to quit Apex, here's why...

Well said, and well thought-out.
And 500+ wins on 11k matches is a little less than 5% - nothing to sneeze at, especially if you're an "all out" player as most seem to be.
Maybe this will help you feel a little better: I'm at 23k+ matches total, with a win rate hovering around 7+%, but only because I'm NOT an "all out" kind of player. I have a high k/d but it's artificial because I will seldom treat a match as kill or die. It's more kill until my teammates get themselves killed and then bail. The k/d would look even less impressive if you saw my kills/total matches. It's spectacularly low. If I played ranked, which I don't, my rank would maybe peak at high gold. Maybe. I just don't have the patience or the teamwork or the aim or the ambition to push that envelope.
But what we definitely have in common is the sense that there are a good many players in this game who, when you meet them, are not just shooting back at you. They're an impenetrable wall of 95% accuracy gunfire. You don't engage them. You get vaporized by them. That tends to feel like bad matchmaking, but there are times when I hit every shot I make and have a handful of kills by second circle, and for no very clear reason that I can make out. Then, mostly, I'm getting vaporized by what look and feel like aimbotters, but are probably just well coordinated teams.
I think @hayhor hit the nail on the head: take a break for a few days. I have an enforced break coming up and I'm actually looking forward to it.
