I created an account just to reply to this, because I was similarly amazed how different MP is today vs yesterday. Similar to you, I'm ranked 1950+, and I'm now being matched with players with ranks as low as the 1500s in groups of up to 8. Winning against these lower-ranked players gives minimal rewards: in several races I won I only earned 1 point per race, which is kind of a waste. The good news is that even when I finished in second place, I only lost 1 point.

Hard to say how long this will continue, but it's definitely a disincentive for high-ranked players to continue playing as frequently if they're facing such low-ranked opponents. The sole upside is that winning against these players isn't as hard as it was against 1-2 high-ranked opponents. Once you get past the scrum at the beginning, it's fairly straightforward.
