Obviously most relationships will have discovery of this information at some point, very early on. It is hard to hide the beer gut, or the lack of a car/job/own apartment/other status marker. So being able to filter on it saves time for everyone - and arguably benefits the women who don't fall for the guy who fakes status but who they wouldn't want to spend time with otherwise. Basically what the job of the marriage match-maker was in old times.
(And of course the alternative might be no mate, or a mate found through a hook-up app with few common interests...)
