I quote myself from that very thread:

Same goes for Party Size and Squad Size, and drop of lobby after a match. Not needed, and not wanted in Battle Royal or Extraction Royal type games.

There was never an intention to group squads to teams in the fist place.

So its four friends join a match of Hazard Zone, and there is no point in a fifth friend to join that match.

Sure one may argue, that was a year ago, but still the core concepts are still the same, and still have the same weird issues that appear from time to time.

Like when a group of friends from Estonia, Germany, Portugal and Egypt try to join a match, and end up on a server where all their ping goes beyond the 100ms margin.

And the party member that causes this issue, is not always from the same locality. Once that player is no longer in the party, the group is matched with pings from 15-30ms again.

With the server browsers from the past we didn't had this issue, because we all could choose consciously the server we wanted to play on, and didn't had to deal with this flaws every single match.
