Bah, by that logic lawyers don't want their clients to stop having legal troubles and my handiman doesn't want my roof to stop leaking. Just for starters most people are not psychopaths and just want to provide a useful service. But even if they didn't care about your happiness, they would still care about reputation. Happy couple will have friends and tell them how they met. Or direct repeat business, realistically most dating site relationships do not last a lifetime.
Above all, successful matches are extraordinarily high. Partly because chemistry is not apparent online and there are many dimensions - values, emotional, financial - that need to align in a viable relationship. But I would say mostly because people are delusional about their own perfection and expectations on others. You would turn down someone who is perfect but happens to smoke? REALLY?
So site developers can break their back and still have an abysmal success record. I don't think anyone would hobble algorithms on purpose.
Heh have you actually worked with lawyers? They are paid by the hour and will do whatever it takes to increase the number of hours as much as possible. And the end result will be a contract so convoluted and muddy that they again will have to be hired to interpret their own work if there ever is a dispute. Lawyers is a racket.
In a previous company we realised that it was cheaper and way faster to hire a lawyer than using external lawyers. The difference in results was night and day.
