It may be possible the matchmaking in CS:GO doesn't check nearly as much as Team Fortress 2, but it's definitely still used internally and externally in your matchmaking enabled products.
Until Steam adds iterative queries (a feature present with the old master), we're pretty much pinned on these legacy interfaces. Even then, expecting everyone to move over silently over night isn't really a thing either (Protobuf on Christmas Eve). Please revert this, and hopefully the LTCG nightmare someone decided to turn on with all Windows Builds. Kyle.
