SBMM is fine and has been around for more than a decade now (probably longer).
The problem being discussed widely today is that developers have a dark incentive for players to lose when purchaseable lootboxes are present. SBMM is just one (and fairly benign) tool developers use to lower players winrate.

While this could've held true a few years ago for CoD franchise, I know for a fact that neither last year's CoD installment nor the most recent one discussed in this article (Black Ops: Cold War) has any sort of lootbox mechanics.
