Yeah, to NPR's credit they do touch on this, but I think this is yet another facet of American life and business where the answer is the same, and simple.
There is a monopoly in this sector of the economy and the monopolist's profit incentives are opposed to human life. In particular this monopoly stands to make the most money by lying and claiming to facilitate the creation of relationships, while in actuality not delivering that promise so that you stay subscribed.
Match is just doing what economic incentives compel it to, but they are incentivized to prevent people from developing secure long-term relationships and starting families, which is pretty sinister.
It's all right there and clear as day, simple economics, and Match is probably breaking the law at this point as it erodes our belief in love itself.

People need to look beyond responsibilities to a company’s shareholders and look at responsibilities towards the shareholders of their communities and societies: their fellow human beings.
