>I’ve never understood how asking out strangers in bars or on the street is supposed to yield high quality matches.

You're providing yet more examples of low-effort interaction, albeit offline.

Quality is subjective, and even as someone who's only had two pints of alcohol in my entire life a bar encounter seems high quality compared to the modern dating scene.

I'd certainly agree that "the modern dating scene" is dismal, but the average bar does not produce anything I would qualify as "high-quality interaction".
