Plenty of us want matchmaking. Sometimes normal dedicated server games get old, what with people making crazy uneven teams, joining and quitting rapidly, having a ton of players on a tiny map, etc. Matchmaking makes for a more organized game against players on a similar skill level so that it's actually fun.
Maybe I'm just strange, but I'm having a lot more fun without matchmaking than I ever did with it. Having someone in the server who is just overall dominant makes it worth playing more so you can wtfpwn him when he least expects it. At least in my opinion.
I just wish the servers weren't so stupidly configured. Not every map needs 16 players and not every server needs to have silly gametype variants. What would be wrong with setting up some of the default servers to 8 player slayer/team slayer/juggernaut or setting some to 10 player CTF/Oddball/King/Assault? And let's limit default servers to two team colors in addition to the player limits. Instead we go from a 16 player slayer to a 16 player team crazy king (with four freakin teams).
If people really want 16 player, 4 color team matches, let them set up custom servers and custom games. Sigh.
