Fluff GP has the exact same effect on matchmaking in GA as it did in TW before GA.
My experience is similar and I agree with @Daishi. Why the fuss?
Well that depends on what you define as fluff. TW doesn’t factor in any toon under 6k power but GA does. I don’t remember how many level 1, 7* toons I have now, but if we assume it’s 30 then that would be 150k power that is unusable. This seems significant when I don’t have 49 other people to balance out my “fluff.”
Hence why many players didn't realise the effect until the individual event. The effect was always there.
Yet the effect wasn't effective or even important.
But it was there. Some players and guilds realised this - others didn't.
How you value the effect is a different subject.
Why a different subject? It's the same subject.
Ok, let me phrase it differently then:
How you value it doesn't change the fact that the effect was there.
And how that fact brings anything to this discussion? Also this other bit you keep ingoring which is prize tiers was there and that's a fact too. It was there, thus we have no say to change it since we didn't raise mobs when it was first implemented?

Prize tiers != matchmaking.
But yes, that effect is there too.
