Commercial interests, uninterested/ insincere/ dishonest users, it's not the tech, really. It's that the diamonds get lost in the rough.

This seems like the obvious answer. Most people turning to a dating app are either looking for hookups or absolutely oblivious of their personal flaws preventing them from getting a partner outside of the app. Then there is a smaller portion of users who are self aware and not into hookups who need to find others within that same group, but the usual filters still apply: age, region, background, personality, appearance, etc.
