BF6 NEEDS Input based match making!

I play on PC with a controller and currently I play in Open Platform match making.

The biggest issue with this is the huge discrepancy between both inputs. Controllers have an easier time in close range combat compared to keyboard and mouse users. Then from mid range onwards keyboard and mouse is the more dominant input. For vehicles, mouse and keyboard is the most dominant input especially in helicopters like the AH6 Little bird. I've played both inputs and keyboard and mouse is the more dominant input across the whole game as a whole. 

The issue then is this...
I play PC platform and my other friends play PS5/Xbox. My friends don't want to play in any PC lobbies as they do not stand a chance against a keyboard and mouse player. More so against a keyboard and mouse player using the helicopters. I play controller, I should not have to even think about buying a console and a new copy of the game just to have some enjoyment with my friends. 
With this currently, my mates just don't want to play with me and just turn cross play off. So then I get left out. I don't blame them as it is a massive difference. 

This game desperately needs input based match making to make the game fair for all players and not punish people. Input should be locked during a game like other FPS titles do. 

Can a dev shed some light on this?

    That probably wouldn’t work, since some server regions simply don’t have enough players to split matchmaking by input method.

    Some game modes have already been removed to prevent the player base from being split across many matchmaking queues.

  • Some regions dont have enough players and are losing their servers pushing them into other servers in that same region, its not going to work and we are nearly year 1 into whats prob only a 2 year game.

  • Im personaly strong supporter of console only but yeah this an compromise i would be willing to make when it comes to matchmaking there is alot of speculation of how it works some are gussing that it constantly creates empty lobbys instead of pushing peple together routing issues some claim myself inclutead that sometimes im missplaced to inccorect region server browser will fix the population problem and if that still dosent work cut out Portal since only like 5% uses that
