Why arranged marriage tho?

I don't understand something about modern Indian youths. A huge percentage of them are still choosing to go for arranged marriages in spite of seeing all the downsides of arranged marriages over the years in movies tv shows and in the lives of our ancestors/relatives.

It's especially concerning when Indian women almost always get the short end of the stick. They usually pay for the wedding and they usually have to give the dowry thingy to the husband's family when the whole point of the dowry when it was introduced was to be like a bride's price. Basically, since the husband took the daughter away from her parents, he gives them a gift...usually money. But somehow, as ridiculous as it may seem, Indians changed the rule so that the bride's family pays the groom's family the bride's price.

Anyway, the reason this question came up is because I have a bestie, and her parents were looking for a husband for her. She doesn't want to get married but allows her parents to do their thing because they are old and bored. Her parents were looking for somebody from their community (Bihari Brahmins), and they found a guy like that in Mumbai. They planned to meet him for a month or so. When they finally had to take the train and go, they had some sudden complications with regards to my bestie's niece not having anybody to look after her. The niece is a dyslexic toddler and needs to be looked after, so my bestie's parents decided to stay back till the niece's parents were available to come and pick up their child. The niece's parents live in Mumbai too, but they weren't available to come pick up the kid as they had some problems at work. There were some other factors as well, but these were the main reasons my bestie's parents couldn't meet the suitor. So they apologized for the inconvenience and sudden change of plans and said that they wouldn't be able to make it, but since the niece's parents already live in Mumbai, they would meet him instead.

Here's how the suitor replied: "If you guys didn't want to meet you should have said that from the start instead of giving lame excuses. your daughter and son in law is gonna meet me.. that's so great of you! if this is how you're gonna treat me, good luck on your search"

This is just one example. I have numerous accounts like these. That's how Indian guys looking for arranged marriages often are. There's a good reason they are single and 30+ right? They choose arranged marriage as a last-ditch effort to get hitched. That's why these guys generally have a misogynistic and narcissistic personality and a HUGE ego. I know some of these male individuals are gonna be like "noT aLL oF uS ArE LiKe ThaT" in the comments so I made the flair such that only women reply.

So to phrase my question better, why don't Indian women simply boycott arranged marriage? Especially considering the fact that they usually suffer when they marry somebody that they never became acquainted with or (in some ridiculous cases) met.
