Essentially, starting new shidduchim websites, coming up with ideas to better match guys and gals, making more boy/girl get-togethers (like sponsored by the Agudah’s Invei Hagefen) and other initiatives to get single guys and girls together for a potential shidduch in a more conducive or comfortable environment really do nothing to fix the problem.

Only partially correct. Additional shaddchanim will not do much on a global level, but they can for a Kehillah. Get togethers on the other hand are outside the system, and allow matches that do not “work” on paper, including “age mismatches” (girl older than boy), and bypass the parents (who are the ones who push for younger girls) so those do help.
