How does autofill "guarantee fair matches?"

The autofill notification says, "Autofill enabled: To avoid excessive queue times and guarantee fair matches, you or a player in your party may be assigned a position other than the two selected." How exactly does autofill guarantee fair matches? It seems to me the only thing it is doing is shortening queue times.

That's because it doesn't guarantee fair matches. It only shortens queue times by placing a member in a role they did not request, and probably do not main. Riot has a habit of saying things they do not mean.

I assume it equates, "keep you approximately within your elo bracket" to "fair matches." Obviously the use of the word "fair" sort of skews the meaning when it's literally telling you that someone may be on a role they're uncomfortable with, so... yeah, mistake on their part for wording.
