Current dating apps are designed to make money for their creators. A dating app made by the government could be made with completely different incentives in mind.
To put it differently, I'm reading your argument as equivalent to saying that the existence of the USPS (which will deliver to remote rural areas, despite the fact that doing so isn't profitable) is more dystopian than the existence of UPS and FedEx (which will not).

I once was a part of making a Facebook clone for the US military so service men and women wouldn't be on Facebook giving away secrets. It was garbage and nobody used it but nobody cared because we weren't being paid to get people to use it.
