“Dating” apps have pretty sleazy and predatory practices. Their very existence depends on them being bad at their purpose! (i.e. when a person finds a partner they will stop using the app) Tinder (child of Match.com, one of the parties in the coalition against Apple) charges certain demographics (males) higher for the same services and have other underhanded tactics to nickle-and-dime users, like charging for read-receipts! Features like visibility boosts are a gamble and they may very well do nothing at all some times. The beauty of Apple’s in-app purchase system is that if a user feels gypped by an app they can request a refund, and most of the time Apple will grant it without question, so it’s no wonder that companies with predatory business models would be the loudest voice for circumventing user protections. No matter how you feel about Apple, there are worse wolves in the woods. Let’s not empower the likes of Tinder/Match. They are not the betrodden underdog in any shape or form.
