This seems like it would skew the data significantly for certain use-cases.

Unless you're feature flagging to test infra backing an expensive feature (in which case, in a load-balancer / containerised world, bucketing is going to be much a much better approach than anything at application level), then you most likely want to collect data on acceptance of a feature. By skewing it toward a more accepting audience, you're getting less data on the userbase that you're more likely to lose. It's like avoiding polling swing states in an election.
