I mean, some percentage of people using any service which matches people up for social activities will not have platonic intentions, whether knowingly or not. I think the point of the feature is to minimise the chances of this being the case, right?

Nearly every dating site allows you to officially put you're looking for friends. It's the whole idea that people want to ideally marry their best friend, or that people want to be friends first before dating. In my experience, nearly everyone hopes that a meeting from a dating site will be more than platonic, even if you go out of your way to set platonic expectations. After all, it's much easier to become friends if you're attracted to each other!
