All of this is true, just saying.
In previous BF games you would join a server with a particular game mode, if the game was balanced and fun (regardless of win or loss) you could stay with that group of players and move to the next map, until you'd had enough. You would also work your way through all maps available to that game mode.
What we have with 2042 is a random map allocation, where (depending on game mode) you are moved to a new server with different players.
I have sometimes found myself playing with a great squad (of randoms) who all work together and might even get top squad, but then we are split up as the game basically starts all over again for the next map.
This is one of the big indicators that 2042 was originally going to be a Battle Royale game, because you don't need persistent servers or the means of carrying players from one map to the next in a BR game. It appears to be so hard baked into the game, DICE have never been able to get around this issue.
